the shell looks real i think the rest including the paint is no good....and thats putting it politely

The liner looks to be the only thing that is real, the shell might be real, but overpainted, the chinstrap is fake and I do not believe I have seen those kind of markings before?

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

no man it is about helmet? the shell ?IT IS ORIGINAL ???there is a big problem with my camera i dont know how to do to make picture better
As far as i can see , the liner is real , the helmet looks to be genuine, but two things are evident , firstly the liner was removed and then the helmet repainted, liner replaced etc, but im thinking this helmet is a Norwegian repaint even with the colour differences, i would therefore suggest taking more photos in outside daylight
I have to agree that I do not think this is a Norwegian reissue, the Norwegian reissue helmets had more of an olive color.

Thats why I asked about daylight shots , in one photo the colour difference is unclear, however ive had three true Norwegian helmets and they were all painted inside as well so i think they could be either, although the liner is damaged im of the opinion that its a dyed one, i could be wrong .
