Here's my SS lid I bought in the summer. I'm pretty sure that the liner is a replacement, and that the chinstrap may be a repro.
but what do you think of it? I am hoping it's authentic.

Mate i can't see anything good about this one
i don't like the paint , the rusting and the runic decal looks like a round bottom fake i'm afraid,

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

Very sorry, but I can only agree with Paul's comments.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: SS Double Decal - What do you think?
I didn't think it was all quite there, I didn't lose out much on this one.
thanks for the information.
It's still a period lid though right? Just faked to be ss?
Re: SS Double Decal - What do you think?
The helmet shell itself is original.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: SS Double Decal - What do you think?
You answered your own question to be honest mate... There arent many people who dont know what an SS helmet could be worth, so if your offered one at a price thats too good to be true.... It isby SatansCabanaBoy
Re: SS Double Decal - What do you think?
Everyone hopes for a deal you know...lol
I bought it from a coin dealer. Coin dealers always seem to wind up with medals for some reason. I guess becasue they are round
So he got this from a person with another helmet, an Africa Corps one, and he was really trying to sell that one to me, but it was way to suspect. So I kind of look at it like I didn't get burned for two helmets.
It's still a period piece, and I don't mind that. I paid what a regular helmet would go for around here from the guy. So I'm not too upset.
All is well
but thanks for all your help guys...I'm learning.
