Re: Single decal Luftwaffe helmet- genuine?
Thanks, I've just asked the seller if he can provide those for me. Hopefully I'll get a response, I never have much luck with this sort of thing. I'll post new pics as soon as I get them!
Meanwhile, can anyone say what a fair price for this might be assuming it's all original?

Re: Single decal Luftwaffe helmet- genuine?
i can see your point with the decal as its right wing also looks dodgy but i have seen a good few original lufty lids haveing botched original decals i would like to know if the decals bad aswell but i think the lid and liner looks ok.....

Re: Single decal Luftwaffe helmet- genuine?
Has this been re-painted post war? Just a thought, but the appearance of paint on the rivets concerns me a little, but perhaps it's me. Better to wait for the helmet head sheds on this one.

Re: Single decal Luftwaffe helmet- genuine?
Indeed something has been stripped from the surface probably post war paint.
The paint color the helmet exhibits is not how it should look , it also explains the wear to the decal.
Luftwaffe Quist M40's have a nice textured paint. Luftwaffe lids are for sale all over the place , best save up for a good example. It will set you back 700$-800$ at most.
Here's an example :

Re: Single decal Luftwaffe helmet- genuine?
Thanks for the feedback. I did notice how the paint is unlike any example I've seen, but I'm new to this area and was hoping it might have been another variant! This 'rare opportunity' was too good to be true, but as said, I can look around a little more and save up as I do so.
Originally I was looking for a good Wehrmacht helmet but came across this- I don't mind much what helmet I get, I'm just after a good stahlhelm in original condition with a respectable decal. Can anyone recommend any good sites to look at that send to the UK? At the moment, my budget is about £300 which I'm aware is a pretty limiting factor.
Thanks again for the help, this site really is a great thing to be a part of!

Nice helmet. I did some shopping and found mine which I pictured. Like was said they are all over the place but I waited till I found a nice one.
