You're right, NS did not make SS helmets, but these aren't field applied original SS decals. The decals and the liner are reproductions. The paint is post war applied over a pitted shell. Sorry, but there is nothing period about this item other than the shell. Again, I am sorry to be the bearer if bad news. Jim G.

Agree with Jim.

Gutted for you, but not only are the decals added I don't like the freshly painted unit marking inside the rim either.

I paid nothing for it, my dear departed father was taken to the cleaners by that Flatken militaria bastard, I wish I could get my hands on him. Or better still transport him back in time and put him in a shell hole in Stalingrad on Christmas day.
