Some clever dude could have added the French shield possibly. Rob

Personally I’d tread real carefully with this one.

Hi,

i couldn't resist to add this one to my archive of dubious/fantasy/fake "French" SS/LVF/NSKK & co helmets.

Unfortunately many (many...) collections in France and elsewhere are flooded by similar improbable helmets.
Thanks to the few pictures of the 1941 batch of LVF helmets (very quickly discontinued) and the picture of iconic LVF NCO Jacques Seveau (MIA during "Bagration") who painted an homemade (and not authorized) French flag on his helmet (1943).
