Hello gentlemen.

Do the decals shown in this thread have a chance to be original?
Unfortunately I don't have any better scans available.

Nope

I was thinking so, thanks a lot.
At the moment, the seller offers many SS helmets out of the "Otto Lang" collection.
Does someone know who he was / is?
According to the seller the SS helmets offered were shown in Mr. Langs helmet book.

A collection of fakes then , they or he is trying to sell them for a while now.
He must have been a very stupid man or maybe he doesn't exist and this book is an effort by the German faker maffia with the likes of Haas.

Remember new collectors Always have a tendency to believe the book.
If it's in a book it must be real.
These days books must be scrutinized as much as the helmets themselves.
See the Normandy 1944 camo helmets book from Dan Tylisz , I'm sure it was written with the same intentions , sell the helmets in the book.
