I don't like that liner at all. The helmet looks like the ones that have been coming out of Bulgaria lately.

I can't comment much on the decals, except to say that it's a very unlikely combination. I think the Leibstandarte AH used that configuration of insignia very briefly in the early 1930s, but I don't think they ever had actual decals on those helmets.

Both decals are bad..

Both decals are bad..

Agreed... Don't like the decals....

Yes, both decals are bad. However, look at the helmet...the whole thing is some sort of Czech (or some other country's) rework; liner, chinstrap, etc are all wrong for German.

How about these swivel bails? Or are they just a type I'm not familiar with?

Thank you for your replies, I have nothing else available than the photos sent to me from a Forum member. He is reading this post and may want to add his own comments/questions.

Geocities???

Was this helmet on that GEOCITIES website?? The photography appears very familiar. If it was, I have seen nothing but fakes being sold on that site.
