It looks rather good, but isn't the chicken wire American stylee.....? Often thought of as a bit of a red flag I understand.

Unfortunately the decal is not an authentic one.
There's something not right here...the shell doesn't quite look like a German M42 shell...there's no flared edge, the vent-holes are too small...the 3 split pins don't look right, and the decal is bad...does anyone else see this?
cheers, GLenn
Maybe a Spanish helmet someone decided to upgrade?
It looks more like a Spanish shell than a German one...

Not good!

There is no lot numbers or maker stamps I see either on the inside skirt. Maybe a reenactor piece?
I think it's a reworked Spanish Modelo Z....
