Who made this?
I am hoping that someone here can tell me who made this repro helmet.
I was told about 50 were made around 2000/2001 for a D-Day/Normandy event. I was told this is not a cheap-o but a quality repro in the same line as a Werke,( I think that is right), helmet.
I would like to hear your opinion as to the quality of this repro and anything I can do to make it better. I have no interest in "ageing" it, just to make it as authentic as possible. Many thanks Gentlemen/Ladies, Paul.
For a guess, a Chinaman.

Whateverits just an opinion.
Oh Man! Really??? I thought this was a little better made than that. The shell is pretty heavy/ strong. I can not flex it pushing between my two hands. I know the chin strap/harness looks bad, but I thought the liner looked pretty good.
Should I try and up grade it or is it just a cheap-o repro?
Could be made in India.
Either way, both countries have given us excellent takeaway food.

This is true Ned!....Either way, both countries have given us excellent takeaway food.
I'd rather talk about the food than that abomination of a Helmet !!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

I've moved it to a much more suitable location !!
