Unusual to see one of these in green rather than gray, and I can't say I've ever seen a DRK decal with a black border. It's a good looking helmet but I'd be interested to hear opinions from some of the guys who specialize in this kind of helmet.
Cheers,

I am afraid that I am with Terry on this one - I have never seen this version of a DRK decal. Jim G.

Ok that one got thrown under the bus pretty easily. So from where on would it be fake? The green is unusal so i guess the paintjob would be fake? The decal is fake cause its bourdered? So that would mean the interiour as well as the piece of paper is fake? Just a real shell then? Like to hear opinions..

But! … They threw it under the bus very nicely though . I’m not a Civilian lid guy but I’ll give a go … I would say that the base helmet looks like a fine civic lid. Is it stamped “Edel Stahl” anywhere on the inside brim? Paint looks ok to me but not for a DRK lid I think they were saying above. So just the decal is bad. As far as the card … that’s anyone’s guess

*** card looks like modern printing to me but could be wrong

It is typical for fake civic helmets to have tags and such added to them to sell them easier.
The paper I am sure is fake , just like the decal.
I have seen black borders on these but they are very fine and subtle. Look at the one shown as example in post 4.

The paper is an exact quote from a period Hitler/DRK post card. As to whether it is period or post I can not be 100% but I haven't seen one before in a long time of collecting DRK items but have seen the post card many times.
