Appears to be original shell and liner, but bogus chinstrap and decal and possibly outer paint. That insignia is hideous actually.

Cheers,
Terry

Yes indeed, an original shell but I doubt anything else here is genuine. The decal is really bad.

Agreed, this shouldn't fool anyone.

That decal is horrible. The new camo paint is perfect but the decal beat up. That alone should be a red flag.

I think you may well have just found one of the worst fake SS decals to have ever been seen! Save your money my friend, there is nothing here worth paying for. Leon.

Thank you all for the comments, such a shame because its at an estate sale and the family has a wonderful story with it that I feel they believe to be true.

Grandpa was telling porkies about how he liberated from the enemy during his Euro tour 1944/5?

As ever, always buy the item, not the story! A provenance is great, but it has to marry up with the item on offer. Leon.
