Another Fake?

[uwezankl]

Hello all

Please check out this helmet...E-Bay 6544005455

Looks strange to me...but I am just a green horn when it comes to German WWII stuff!

A few things that make me wonder:

Sheel 71 with liner 61...
decal directly on the camo paint...
Early bolts and very late straps...

Over here most of the helmets you see now a days are 71 shells with large liners, makes you wonder if the Germans during WWII all had a head like mine (size 60)

thanks
Uwe

Uwe - that's a fake, I believe it's an "At the Front" reproduction for reencators.
