supposed ground dug SS helmet

[Gabor Tischler]

Hi guys,

Please help me in the identification. What do you think about it, is it an original SS ground dug helmet or a fake?

Thanks in advance!

All the Best,
Gabor

Hard to tell from the pics but I don't like the the decal at all. White camo in rust dots on the rivetheads I'd pass, sorry..

Hi Phill,

I don't think it's a round bottom, but I do agree with you it's a fake.

I agree. Too much damage to know for sure. Doesn't look good. Paint looks incorrect for a possible Q, M40. Reinforced aluminum liner ?

Hi guys,

The owner sent me still some pictures and he told me, that he found it in the ground a week ago. The pictures not to good, but I show you them.

He will comes to me and I will shoot some better pictures from this helmet and after I will post here the better pictures.

Maybe, someone played with this guy and sometimes anybody repaired this helmet with a new SS decal, thereafter this guy found this helmet with a metal detector in the ground some days ago or the all story is very questionable?

Thanks in advance!

All the Best,
Gabor

Hi my Friend!

This is a Q shell, but the Quist firm never used second type decal.
