Hard to tell from the angle. The liner has been replaced. Marty

Sean you can't tell from these photos. You need to get an in focus closeup of the decal with no flash glare.

Thanks for the comment,maybe that's why the pictures were taken from this angle..

I suspect that as well, it is usually the case with SS helmets that the worse the photos you are sent the worse the fake is. If I could offer a modicum of advice I would strongly recommend you stand up to all sellers and insist on top photos always. If someone sends you pics like this you should not accept them. The devil is in the details.

Looks like a relic helmet and they just stuck a liner in It and possibly a fake ss decal on it to try to give it more value.

Well,well...I was supplied the extra pictures I asked for....email was signed by Pawel....knew I'd seen his name on here before so did a quick search before this post..seems he's going worldwide now! I'll throw up the not quite straight on picture of the decal he sent for shits and giggles.......

I saw this one on gumtree.com.au this morning. I was a little suspicious when I saw him asking $450 for it and $500 for "100% original" camo fallschirmjager helmets.
