SS-Helmet, genuin/fake?

[fänkål]

Hello, this SS-helmet relic, is it authentic? I have not so much knowledge about SS-helmets and would be very grateful for some opinions about it. About the darker colour on on the decal, the seller said the founder "put beeswax on it to preserve the decal". Its said to belong to the 15th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Latvian) and was found near Pskov.

I bought a m42 ss helmet years ago that the seller claimed was from the region of the 15th SS. That helmet was original I would say this helmet is good too. I do not know if I would pay too much for a helmet in this condition.

Looks like a good one, just never been a fan of relics. Personally I feel they have no monetary value. Had I dug it up myself, I would more than likely keep it.

Isn't this one from the late Eugene Asafov, so not sure his site still runs? Has someone else taken it over?
