I certainly wont be cleaning it, i know better than that. These are the pictures that for whatever reason didn't make it into the first post. These were taken yesterday with a phone. I will be taking proper pictures with a real camera once I get home later. I just wanted to thank everyone for helping me out you guys are great, this is something I would have passed up if it wasn't for you. I am grateful and super excited to be the new owner of this helmet, I wish it could talk. I look forward to learning more about it.

I was joking with my wife last night after I checked the helmet out at the shop I said, "this is either a fake, due to the emblem being reversed, who would do that?, or this is the elusive reversed emblem helmet that's worth a lot"

I am very pleased for you.

I added the pics to your original post as they were outside hosted.

Cheers, Ade.

Oh no, the chinstrap is broken, quick get a refund.

I look forward to seeing your own pics of it.

WOW. That's about all that can be said, if it's the real deal as Doug believes it is. I would be interested just to know what part of the world this was found in. I hope far, far away from me so I would have had zero chance of finding it.

I cannot see a single red flag. None. Nada.

For an "is it real" post this is just fu**in' awesome.

I am as excited and jacked up about this as you are!

For "what it's worth" see my PM. I hope your a collector and this will be on your top shelf for decades to come!

Looking forward to top end photos but this is looking A 1.

Well done! This is a truly inspiring post. It should spur many of us on to search for the rare and unusual with renewed vigour.

Regards

I am speechless!! I just clicked onto this thread ready to trash another "fake pocher" re-painted piece of junk. I cannot believe what I am seeing!! This is surely the best SS helmet "find" for years! I sincerely congratulate you my friend,what an awesome find , you have struck not only $$ gold but also one of the most historically important SS variation helmets! Leon.
