    The experts will want better photos but it looks like the old "round bottom" fake - and the liner looks like a treated repro as well ( no age to it )
    It wouldn't surprise me if this is a complete "restoration" ......

    I have never seen an hkp SS helmet. From the photos it looks like a good late war helmet someone put a bad fake decal on.

    I will quote myself from 2 topics ago.
    If you are going into collecting SS make sure to get detailed photos of all parts and good close-ups.

    Good SS helmets for sale will have these photos. This one is a poor man’s fake.

    Frank are you suggesting this is a BEER decal, for the man that can't afford Champagne?
