Swastika on Helmet "Stahlhelmbund"
What are your thoughts on this one chaps?
Although dignified in at least two respected publications, I feel that it is a fake, or rather should I say, a pure fantasy item from the 1960's or 1970's.
Consider the in theory period of issue and wear. Die stamped aluminium and in multiple parts ? I think not.
Regards,
David

It certainly does not look very convincing David.

This buckle was (of course) posted on a "devils advocate" principle and to hopefully, stimulate or draw a discussion in connection with perhaps (a) fake Stahlhelmbund buckles, (b) aluminium constructions and (c), fakes and fantasy items from the 1960's and 1970's.
Quite unbelievable that in the absence of any worthwhile dialogue, a forum member has so kindly provided a discussion link to a rival forum. Quite unbelievable.

Re: Swastika on Helmet "Stahlhelmbund"
Here's a question David....I don't believe I've ever seen two piece Stahlhelmbund buckles where the roundel was attached with the four pins. Do you have any recollection of seeing authentic Stahlhelm buckles made in this manner. I don't but my experience with these types of buckles is more limited.
Cheers!
