Re: Transitional DD helmet for sale in dealers corner.
It was re-issued so that might explain why you think it "was messed with"
This is 100% authentic though....
It matches the one here: German-Helmets.com

Re: Transitional DD helmet for sale in dealers corner.
I have a question I have viewed many threads and forums on Helmets since I came to this FORUM five months ago and the one thing I was told was to allways avoid a helmet that have ie.... loose rivets,miss colored rivets, or any helmet that has the physical appearence of being tampered with if I am wrong someone please correct me.

Re: Transitional DD helmet for sale in dealers corner.
It depends on what you want it for,Mark. If you're buying it for the looks,is one thing-but as an investment? You're probably right. William

Is it possible someone tinkered with it along time ago? And did the changes?

Re: Transitional DD helmet for sale in dealers corner.
The myth about buying a helmet with rivets a different color or loose is just that, a myth perpetuated by overly paranoid collectors who perhaps havent handled many real ones and a lot of tampered with lids, like this one appears to be. Rivets loosened over time and use, I have several helmets with unmessed with liners missing washers or have the rivets loosened way off. It's not uncommon for paint on rivets to be mismatched particularly on early Q M35s. You simply need to know your helmets. These collector "rules" are not hard and fast but must be taken into the context of the entire helmet.
