2011drewc12345 Posted July 6, 2021 #1 Posted July 6, 2021 What do you guys think about the authenticity of this helmet? Has chicken wire also.
CavalryCombatant Posted July 12, 2021 #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
Mr.Jerry Posted July 12, 2021 #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.
Paddyd00 Posted August 26, 2021 #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
jmd62 Posted August 26, 2021 #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.
AverageJoeWWII Posted December 12, 2021 #8 Posted December 12, 2021 Is that supposed to be dust around the wire ?? or white paint ??? I don't like it.
Tom Kibler Posted December 13, 2021 #9 Posted December 13, 2021 Late to make a comment…. Nothing you want to own, if originality is your goal
Custermen Posted December 13, 2021 #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.
Preppy Picker Posted May 27, 2023 #11 Posted May 27, 2023 Luftwaffe DD helmets are M35 and this is an M40. Just one more nail in the coffin.
