Fallschirmjager Helmet - Opinions Please.

[Trumper]

Hi,
This helmet is for being advertised for sale on a website here in New Zealand.
I am not an expert by a long way so would be happy for opinions on the originality of this helmet.
No pictures of the decal as it is allowed on the website, but apparently it has one.
Here is the link:

Thanks,
John

I should have said pictures of decal are not allowed on the website, sorry for that.

I saw this one on trademe as well.
I am currently holding in my hands a new made item that I bought 2 years ago for $120. Identical stamp and snap markings.
Mine has the slotted rather than spanner bolts though,and no "bullet" dent.
I have a bad feeling about this.

Original. No doubt

[Adrian Stevenson]

I would agree with Steve. Look at the paint, the nice tight stitching to the liner, etc, etc.

I see the reserve was not met, so it did not sell.

Cheers, Ade.

Steve is right

[DougB]

Agreed, a nice original Fallschirmjager!

If stamped ET71 without a space between the letters and numbers, batch number 3807? Then its a fake...

This one looks 100 per cent right to me. What is it specifically that you don't like?

One of the sexiest late M38's I've seen in a while.
