An original one, metal see., do believe they used real Wehrmacht decals, here a Navy Eagle

I don't believe that's a  Kriegsmarine eagle because if you look at the yellowing on the tricolor shield  it's the same. the kriegsmarine helmet I have the eagle is a more golden not a yellowish eagle

Navy helmet decals also have sort of a separate layer in them, so you can see a "drop shadow" of the gold overlay.  Great helmet though!

Anyone know who the KC holder is ?

Walter Wriedt 3. Gebirgs-Division, interesting thing with Wriedt is he is a North German from Kiel, probably a Lutheran, yet he somehow uncharacteristically gets assigned to an Austrian Division, who are Catholics, I bring that up because while  angst over religious differences between these two sects of Christianity were on the wane, there still was some sore points,
