[blackheart0866]

Ok, I'm looking at the M38 Fallschirmjäger helmet, it looks really nice, and before i make an offer on it, I thought i would post pics of it here first.

Please let me know, any and all comments are wanted, and welcomed.

Thanks
Brian

I'm saying FAKE. I don't specialize in FJ helmets but this one just seems off to me. Reminds me too much of the ones I see on eBay that people have smeared dirt and sawdust on to make look vintage. My gut feeling tells me it's all bad. And whenever you are going to put a lot of money down on something such as this. You don't want any doubts EVER.

Thats why I'm posting pics of of it here, I like the looks of it, But I'm no expert, and I leave that for them in here.

I wouldn't spend a penny on it. If you're looking for an original look on...

Here are some good ones! Steel Helmets

I agree with nathan on this , the liner appears too clean as opposed to the chin and neck straps, plus you havent shown any manufacturers no/s or lot no/s. it certainly looks to have been artificially aged, how much is being asked for it Another give away is that dirt is still falling from the helmet onto the white cloth

Youd be best to steer clear of this helmet.

They have this one for sale also.

I would pass on it as well and in fact not even bother wasting your time at this site anymore if this is what they are offering.
Fake shell, liner, the entire thing.

Not a site, but an individual.

Ok, thanks everyone.
