WW2 M1935 German helmet dug on eBay (end time 01-May-11 20:27:07 BST)

got that for £26, worth it? always wanted a rusty nazi helmet. But knowing my luck it will be a fake

reckon its genuine?

[GasMasksUK]

Its real, more or less a standard dug up relic helmet shell. £26 isnt too bad either

Thanks

Typical relic stahlhelm for a pretty good price. These can go for a small amount more.

Relic helmets are cheap and they have a lot of provenance with them. Great starter helmet.

Nice find! I happen to like the relics because they have character and are unique. I hope to be a relic one day!

thanks all, saw that the seller is selling another and I "jokingly" bid really low assuming I woudnt win the auction. Only thats backfired and I actually won LOL!

sorry to sound like broken record but is this one genuine too?

Hi Pablo, you might end up a relic, but im buggered if im going to dig you up and display on the shelf LOL

[DougB]

Is it a Nazi helmet?

[Pablo]

Hi Pablo, you might end up a relic, but im buggered if im going to dig you up and display on the shelf LOL

Davejb, thanks for the sentiment, but no need to dig me up. Happy to be fertilizer for zucchini or cucumber plant.

I'm hoping for you the seller packs it correctly as it looks very fragile

Hello, both are good IMO. A little too salty for my taste though. I would probably want to restore it! That's why I stay away from these.
