Fallschirmjager helmet real?

[mikel wallaart]

Can anybody tell me if the following helmet is real. It was found years ago in the Reichswald.
What would be the value of this item?

The problem as we all know is its increasingly difficult to tell real from fake ,as the fakers have become so good at ageing a helmet.20 years ago i would have said genuine ,but now ,who knows?

Any chance of getting better pictures.
The inside of the helmet and better close up of the different parts.

I don't really doubt if it's genuine or not. The guy I am buying it from is selling is whole collection for fairly decent prices. How much do you guys think this helmet is worth? I will try to get some better pictures.

If it is genuine it could fetch 1500 €, if it is not 15 €.

[mikel wallaart]

I will post more pics soon. Does it look complete to you guys?

Spot on

Exactly who DOES know in this day and age. I've seen some of the best in the business getting fooled by these.

At the last militaria fair in Antwerp, a well know dealer asked me and my friend if we knew what the we had to look for when buying a FJ helmet?
And my friend replyed ;" at the man who is selling it !"
