CavalryCombatant Posted July 12, 2021 Share #4 Posted July 12, 2021 Not very knowledgeable on German helmets, but I’m not liking it at all. Particularly around the tricolor. Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Jerry Posted July 12, 2021 Share #5 Posted July 12, 2021 yea I am not feeling this one either. I don't like the decals or the wire, or that white funk all over everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddyd00 Posted August 26, 2021 Share #6 Posted August 26, 2021 No good. Looks scrubbed down (you can see on the decals) which would make the wire fake. A pass on this one friend. Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmd62 Posted August 26, 2021 Share #7 Posted August 26, 2021 I would also question the liner as the band looks like it was possibly replaced. Maybe check the split-pins to see if they've been tampered with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AverageJoeWWII Posted December 12, 2021 Share #8 Posted December 12, 2021 Is that supposed to be dust around the wire ?? or white paint ??? I don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custermen Posted December 13, 2021 Share #10 Posted December 13, 2021 I see the Blue paint on the inner band. If this was refurbished by the Wehrmacht, then I would think they would have removed the liner. I can't tell if the Eagle is too far forward & maybe too large. It could be the angle of the photo. And I don't have one to really compare it to but wanted to add my comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preppy Picker Posted May 27, 2023 Share #11 Posted May 27, 2023 Luftwaffe DD helmets are M35 and this is an M40. Just one more nail in the coffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
