I can't speak to the authenticity of either piece, but the patch is a Luftwaffe Observer's Badge (Beobachterabzeichen) in cloth.
-
Are you Swedish ?
just because there is lot of this kind of fakes in Swedish markets now.
-
The helmet is a fake and im not sure about the backing on the observers patch but im feeling bad as well.
-
Helmet shell is OK - with the light bead around it is a civilian luftschutz type ( possibly then the liner and strap are original too they used many types )
That is where it stops - the paint and of course decal are fake and ruined what would have been a reasonable helmet.
The woven backing of the patch is a giveaway of a modern reproduction.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.
Sadly as stated, both items are bad.
Cheers, Ade.

What a shame! My dad will be upset! He bought them in 1967 from a military emporium in islington, London. Thanks for all help though, you guys really know your stuff!
-
look on the bright side,in 1967 they did not cost much. and we won't say who sold them will we.

Would the helmet and badge be worth anything at all? I have a few more items to post from the same unnamed emporium, hopefully they are the real deal!
