It looks to be refurbished to appear as a Km. A better close up of the decal would be better but the over all condition looks new. It's always possible that the lid was never worn much but the liner has no wear.

Just my lone opinion.

Agreed

thnx all for the input.

Does anybody know a established dealer or collector in the netherlands who is specialized in authenticating helmets?
Not that i do not agree with all your input, but on another helmet i liked the opinions are split 50/50 ....so thats a little tricky.
If i buy it it might be a big mistake, but if i dont buy it could also be a mistake.
and again i wish to express that i in no way question all your opinions but i really like the helmet and i have a buy option now.

Thanks in advance guys!

Well if you like it buy it

but you asked for opinions and members gave them,but at the end of the day its all upto you, but just have a look yourself at where the string goes thru the leather liner holes,you can see where there appears to have been washers,now german helmet liners dont have washers there,its probably czech or something similar , anyway good luck with your purchase, rgds Dave
