Even with this pic, I think you are right. I think you can forget them.
Cheers, Ade.
Working on getting more pictures. Especially of the liners. The guy that emailed me I dont know personally. He has some daggars as well and I have posted a picture in the edged weapons section.
I know times are tough and everyone is in need of some dough. Just want to make sure I am getting the real thing!
A couple of more pics...
Still not the best lighting but might be helpful...
SS (national flag is for sure) and para fake, at least the palm tree is also fake

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Ok I have to ask you guys ...I look at these and see older helemts..rust spots, older (or what appears to be) scratched decals, faded paint..and they look authentic to me. I was skeptical about the palm tree but that was an early version that was actually used.
How do you know they are fakes? I totally believe and trust you guys and I am trying to get pics of the liners..which I think helps too..but HOW THE HECK DO YOU KNOW???
What are you looking for? What tips you off?
I am just trying to learn the ropes so I dont have to post stuff as much and ask for advice.
Thanks anyway looks like I will be avoiding these....again..
The DAK Helmet shows very little signs of wear from these photos but hasn't been done as a mint one and the paint job is awful , the palm tree i'd like to see some close ups to look at the eaxacy design.

Actually, the left and right helmet shells are original due of it's not a rare items, but decals is fake, as palmtree and SS decals, ( I think the runes decal is the same fake as the right national flag decal- the shape is wrong)
The FJ helmet is modern Indian repro by shape and rivets.
