m35 DD Luftwaffe with fake camo
Just saw this helmet for sale (as original). It is a m35 DD Luftwaffe helmet with a fake camo. Why do I think that the camo is fake? Because the helmet has been at an auction before (without the camo) and I have actually had it in my hands at the auction. See the before and after below.

It does not really look like a fake camo to me, it looks more like it used to be varnished? As it was WAY too shiny, even for an M35 - then someone tried to remove the varnish but was... not completly sucessful. In any case a helmet sadly ruined - and even a named one, what a shame.

Yes, indeed it used to be varnished.
These are the kind of people that take apart a lamp to see why the light does not go on when they just need to plug it in.
