SS Helm

Hi All From Down Under!
Can anyone give an Aussie some advice on the following Helmet. I have been offered it but am new to this and unsure if it is a real McCoy. Appreciate any help, Regards Geoff

Hi Geoff, for of all welcome to the forum!

This is a complete post war rebuild job. (i.e. a fake)

Look at the artificial wear to the paint done with sandpaper. The liner is also new. Of course, the decals are bad.

As a general rule, double decal M40's are very rare to find.

Cheers, Ade.

Agreed!

It's a bad decals , the party shield is bad even for reenactors
