    Not one I would be comfortable owning. Both decals look graphically incorrect to me.

    I would agree with Terry. And the current price? dead giveaway. A pre war black DD SS helmet? $10k+ is what I would assume.

    It's always possible but highly unlikely. A helmet this rare would be sold via a high end dealer or a global top tier auction house.

    I agree. Post war used helmet faked up.
    No red flags??? What about the above?

    Sorry but this is not good, the decal is all wrong. Save your cash,

    Thats a Civil Produced ET (You can still see the outline of the Lion Stamp under the ET), neither M16 nor M18, but a arround 1930 produced variation, intended for police use. I have one similar, without decals.

    Here the Thread of mine: Interwar produced M18 by Et

    (Well i called it M18, its technically not an M18 - as the Vents are different, they are all the same size and have no border for the Armor plate. The Model is pretty rare though, so it has no real model name.)

    My Opinion: The Swastika Decal (As the Police used the same one) could be Original, the Paint aswell, the SS is probably Post-War added.

    Nice one Adravor. I’d forgotten about this one but it is a very nice helmet. Lots of M35s/40s/42’s around but this one is unique and it’s always nice to have something a little different in the collection.
