From those photos it does not look convincing. But, from those photos I am not sure what we have. It has a very "Czech repro look", yet it is a size 68 shell. The camo and wire do not have the right look. The aging looks artificial. The inside color of the helmet is wrong...even odd if it were an early DD.

I may have seen this helmet floating around before. It looks like the brother, or it is the same, of another tan wire camo that I have seen very numerous closeups on. That one was clearly repro and this kinda looks like the same artist at work. It also came from Italy and was offered on US ebay for the same price.

More photos would be needed to know for sure. A hands-on would make for a quick determination.

No additional photos needed: It's complete crap.
