Re: SS helmet camo cover
These camo covers are extremely rare and would command a very high price, there are numerous fakes being sold and some are very good, having said that the one shown does display some of the points of an original but i think numerous photos of all points, ie stitching , spring clips, and springs, the underside of the front peak and any possible markings, a majority of originals had an arabic numeral printed on the side above one of the spring clips, i do not see this on yours however i think DougB or Frank may comment on this with more certainty as to originality or repro, if real you have a very desirable and high value item

Re: SS helmet camo cover
This is a reproduction helmet cover. Wrong clips, not even cut from zelt material.
Clips are wrong, springs mounted wrong. Thread looks like modern poly blend.

Re: SS helmet camo cover
The thread stitching was one of the points that worried me as you can see that it was originally a white thread under the cloth where it has pulled tight, but as to the springs and mounts i wasnt sure, i was however under the impression that the cloth was predominantly a heavy cloth twill which this appears to be, but i bow to the more experienced with regards to these
