The helmet looks real, but the house is questionable.

Damn, what a helmet... tons of character, a real combat vet that has seen the brutal fightings in the Ardennes for sure!
Given the location where it was found it is highly likely it belonged to a soldier of 212. Volksgrenadier-Division...Comment

Very nice find, truly a time capsule. I wouldn't try to improve or clean it. Just leave it as it is.

I love how gravity has sucked that net down on the helmet. It looks like it has slightly flattened from time and gravity, super cool, I love these type of helmets!!!
Great score but..... the barn has had some restoration work
!
