Fallschirmjäger Helmet bolts

Hi
please are they original?
Many thanks

They look like they could be, but the repros are so exact that it is hard to tell sometimes between originals and modern copies. What size are the nuts? They should be 14mm and the thread on the bolts should be M6 - 0.75

Cheers,
Terry

Should not them be rounder ? They look very flat imo.

Many thanks for your replies.

Hi Terry
these bolts are not mine they are on selling by a seller.
So I cannot answer to your questions...

Please are there other opinions?

Marco, original bolts are very seldom encountered today, and they are very easily reproduced. It really is a matter of measuring them, to include the thread pitch. Without that one can not be sure.

That being said, I am not fond of these, and agree they seem too flat.

Would certainly consider these reproductions, several details are not as they should be.

Agreed with others, these are not original. Devil in details.

Hi! Even if I'm not an hardcore Fallschirmjeager collector, thats bolts looks too much flat to me too...

I think these are some that i had made back in the late 1990's for reenactor helmets.
I purposefully made them flat, and the thread pitch is standard US, not metric.

Thanks very much for your replies.
