Real relic or fake?

[johnb593]

I picked this one up on ebay a while back for a pretty fair price from a guy in Latvia (if I remember correctly). Supposedly a ground dug relic from the Kurland area. It looks okay to my untrained eye but what do you guys think? I MIGHT have asked about this before but I don't recall doing that and didn't find anything in the archive posts. If I DID then please accept my apologies.

That's definitely a relic ! - Were you wanting to know
if it's a snow camo or something.........?

Yea... Its not very cost effective to bury a helmet and wait years to have it rust like this! These are pretty safe buys if its what your after. The SS relics, whole different ballgame.

Good and definitely original relic helmet!

i have one or two of them myself but they are a pain in the a$$ when it comes to clear the dust off them or try to move them. Rust parts falling off constantly and make a mess of the place they are placed! Nice items nevertheless!

The problem with this kind of helmet : it is going to dust...

My solution to the dust problem is placing a clear plastic bag over the helmet. Works for me.
