M40 Waffen SS Helmet?

**SilluAgain** · 05-08-2023, 03:27 PM

Hello good afternoon everyone, I have been offered this German M40 helmet of the Waffen SS. To me, everything looks good, the chinstrap is missing, it has two bullet impacts, I don't give it a problem, they look like a pistol, it adds to the patina for my taste, the decal I have my doubts, it seems good, but the wear that it has is strange, what do you think?

Suspicious to say the least and nothing I would be interested in although I´m no expert in SS helmets. The whole thing screams artificially aged (including the "bullet dent").

Best, Jan

Horrible fake , Good Ss helmets are never offered they sell immediately at top prices.

Thank you for your answers, well it was offered because I know the seller, and he offers me products when he gets them to sell. What is fake? the decal only?

decal , paint and perhaps liner (certainly replaced).

Agree with Frank. Nothing good here.

Same here. Frank is spot on

Thank you all, I really appreciate the help. I don't have much money, so I have to spend it wisely. I'm planning the buying of a Mein Kampf book dated 1932
