Fake or real

I acquired this helmet and do not know what period this is from Someone told me an M35 NS so I labled it that. Here is a picture of the helmet. Can someone tell me what type and the worth of such a helmet
Thanks.

Absolutly it is nice, but it is an M40 HEER and not a M42!A lovely looking helmet that looks to have a good period liner and chinstrap too.Has anyone seen one before with that "thiner"bottom arm on the swastika before??That's the only slight concern I would have,but I think it's a good decal.

ooops my mistake sorry

Meant to type 40, but missed for some reason

Concerning the liner- I have not seen one without the liner holes "not" completely puched out, there are quite a few that are still there.........there are number collectors here with much more knowledge- is this a common or a possible thing?

Seems the Germans were sticklers for precision manufacture, still seem to be.

Well noticed,i had missed that(to busy looking at the decal)I have not come across that either Mmmmm

That and the swastika "arm" is making me think twice now?? Leon.

I would really like to get an idea as to the price for this helmet. Do you think $800.00 is too low or do you think this helmet is worth more?

**Sir Payne** · 05-01-2013, 10:53 PM

It is a reissued helmet I think, probably hardly worn. $800 is low in my opinion, I would ask for $900 if it was mine, a dealer would probably say $1k+. The holes are not at all a problem.
