Thank you Clint for your thumbs up! I wasn't sure if my pictures were detailed enough.

[Willi Z.]

Yes, the shell is an original.

[Mark Stevens]

Thank you Willi, I respect your input.

These are the bolts that came with the helmet. Although not correct for this helmet I was wondering if they are authentic.

Why not correct, Mark ? This type was used for all kind of fj shells.
if they were with the shell , I would guess they are genuine (but I'm not a screw expert)

[Willi Z.]

I think they are original as well. I have seen several late 'ckl' helmets with unpainted spanner bolts, so these are ok with this shell.

Thanks Clint and Willi for your comments. I assumed (wrongly) that a late war helmet would only have slotted bolts.
