Steel Luftwaffe (real or fake?)

[BriTru]

Hello Forum,

I recently picked this helm up at a local auction for 100$ and I was wondering if I got my moneys worth.

Please see the attached photos and have a great day.

Appears to be a well used M35 shell. Decal looks ok, but photos are not that clear.

Welcome to the forum, much better images in clear daylight will be necessary to be sure, but I think your shell may be ok. Is there any evidence of a National shield decal either removed or over painted on the opposite side? Leon.

Nope, thats an SE M40 shell. Outside looks repainted? Better pics are needed.
