Here is a black double decal SS helmet I ran across that some consider a fake but they will not tell me why. I would like a "second opinon"
Does it appear to be a fake and can you give me a reason to believe it might be?

The helmet is indeed a fake. The decals are incorrect in diamentions. You will know the chinstrap is fake too of course.
This is an M40. Black painted SS helmets, other than WW1 styles, tend to be M35 only. Never seen an M40 that I can recall?
Cheers, Ade.
i would also add that the chinstrap is the wrong type and the paint on the underside of the helmet seems in excellent shape when compared to the weathering of the exterior,,,BOGUS
The bad late war helmet, cannot be double decal, even a most part of them was without decals at all. The black helmets was discontinued in 1940 year
