Warning: fake helmet shell rubber stamp for sale

[Spitfire1940]

Gentlemen,

A seller in Lithuania is selling a rubber stamp described as "Repro M42 German helmet Shell Stamp" on Ebay. Might be worth keeping an eye out for this in the future? I don't know whether this is an exact copy of the originals, but it is clearly something that an unscrupulous person could use inappropriately and that could cause problems for collectors.

Definitely not a good helmet acceptance stamp. The whole stamp has that new look to it anyway.

Reproduction makers and fakers have made these and decal applied logos in order to make helmets to look original, Generally one can tell a helmet is authentic or not without looking at the stamp I am pretty sure. I am a novice to German helmets though.
