Princess Irene Brigade Netherlands

[aussie mick]

G'Day all,
Here is a 1941 Mk1 Canadian helmet made by GSW with a VMC size 7 liner,with possible links to the Netherlands, Princess Irene Brigade.
What do you reckon ?

Your helmet with decal looks a bit odd to me. I cannot vouch for the decal. It differs from the decals I have seen so far. But there are always exceptions to the rule.

I'll put it to some contacts and get back.

I uploaded two pics. One original and one fake.

Thanks for showing this!

Cheers,
Emile

UPDATE--
I was going through some old posts and found this one,which is one of my favourite lids.
I was informed a while back,that this is indeed an original Princess Irene Brigade helmet and quite rare too.To say im over the moon is an understatement
I know its a bit of a taboo subject,but what would this helmet be worth ?
Im not really interested in selling at the moment,im just curious thats all.
Cheers Mick

I guess three to four hundred euro's. Might be more. In the case the decal is original. The Dutch lion is orange. Yours seems te be yellow!?
