And please don´t bash me if i wrote something wrong I am just guessing. I´m far from your level of knowledge

The eagle is not good , the yellow paint is post war.
NS uses a very recognizeable eagle, from your photo (the interior) the paint color is hard to see. NS Luftwaffe helmets have a nice blue grey paint.

Thank you very much. I paid only 80 euros for it so it is not a total loss

[Sensei]

Can you get your money back in any way?

[Bavarian]

With a litte work you can restore it
Use paint remover
For 80€ a great found
Only the shell cost here in germany 130€

Could the paint be from an Norwegian reissue? The tone of the paint looks like it? Still a good deal for 80€.

David,

No need to delete the thread. Even if items are deemed to be bad, it is still a useful thread for others to study.

Second, thanks for listening and posting nice clear photos. Although I suspected it was messed with in your introduction thread I was hoping I might be wrong from the single photo.

I fully agree with the others here. A bad helmet. I would even guess that the liner has been removed or possible replaced.

And lastly, no worries about being "wrong". It's just part of the learning process.

The liner is worth twice what you paid for the helmet so all is not lost. Jim G.

Although the 10 Stamp on the liner is weird... i have never seen a helmet with a stamp like that, maybe it was post-war used?
