M40 Dak Helmet - For Your Review

[Checcopag]

Hello friends,

I reached some day ago this DAK Helmet in a Romanian Market, what you think about it?

Any opinion is glad, thank you in advance for your replies

Bye friends

It looks like it was sprayed about a week ago!...

New paint ,i think the only real part is the helmet shell

This helmet, as stated is a total fabrication....the palm tree device has been much debated, some claim there was a decal, which has proved to be a post war fantasy, and some claim that a few german soldier did indeed paint this image on their helmets, though I think there is no real photographic evidence.
Helmets of the Afrika Korps had the usual eagle decal, and possibly the tricolour as well, there is much photographic evidence of this....the consensus is their was no specific palm tree decal produced for them.
As already state, this helmet is a post war repainted.....the tan colour, in my opinion is much too bright, it would have been a flatter shade...

Faker than fake.. maybe the shell is real but IMO the rest is carbage.
