Came across this in a militaria shop today. I dont know a thing about SS helmets, but it looks ok in general to me. I noticed the liner band seem to have the steel bale posts instead of aluminium. It doesnt appear the liner has been out though.

It is not a good one , the decals are fakes.
Everything is post war apart from the shell.
Hmm, interesting choice of surname painted on the skirt;
In German I think it may be derived from the word for someone working in the profession of making coins in a Muntzanstalt or "Mint" but in (UK) English it is a slang term for someone (most often a woman) who is particularly unattractive or "ugly"
Could be the faker having a bit of a subliminal laugh?
Regards
Mark

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares more about than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature with no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
