SS helmet cover

[Clausewitz]

Gentlemen,

what do you think about this SS helmet cover? It seems, that war makes a mark on it.

The pictures aren´t the best, but there are no better once at the moment. I hope they´ll do it!

Hello,
I'm sorry, totally fake...Only the camo cloth seams to be WW2 era....

its look like its a second model with missing camo straps,but the sewn job is strange,and perhaps remade from a damage zelt post war.

Thank you for all your opinions.

What exactly makes you think that´s a fake???

[Lorenz]

Clausewitz,
the clip that you posted missing all caracteristics for an original WW2 era SS helmet cover clip.
Also the construction of the cover it's wrong, the lateral position of the clips is completely wrong, the thread it's wrong..the age...etc...
This type of fake clips are colored and not anodizated, I saw other fake covers with this type of clips.
I post now a picture of an original clip to compare.

Thank you for all your opinions.

I agree with Lorenz that the clips are fakes

Thats a very bad start for this cover to be original.

[Fritz]

Yes, fake cover....

And don,t forget too mention,there are several flaws in the print.

IMHO the clips are repros (lacking the proper characteristics - but trying) and the cloth just doesn't look right for me. Anyway, I would not invest in this one.
