German Camo Helmet Authentic?

**camry** · 12-14-2009, 12:40 AM

Hello
I just picked this helmet up recently and all I know is it is a WWII Sweedish helmet with German markings on it. I have never seen a helmet like this before so I really don't know much more about it. I have no clue what the red mark above the nazi symbol is and I would really like to know what it is. I also found it interesting that the helmet is camo. I would really like to konw what kind of helmet this is and also if it is authentic or not? Lastly I would like to know what it is worth? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank-You

Just a helmet that has been played about with, not authentic imo.

Some Swedish M/21 and M/26 hajlm (helmets) were used by Finnish troops. It could be worth investigating this route.

What you have there is an M/26 helmet. Standard paint was the slate grey that you have inside.
