Fakes are refered to a "display copies" or "fillers" The display of repros is very common for two reasons, one is that the originals are so delicate and valuable that they remain in secure controled storage conditions and replicas are on display or the items are so fantastically rare that a copy is displayed etc. On the visor in question I love the lighter burns to the edge of the visor.

I am assuming the bronze eagle taken from the Reich Chancellery is genuine !!

Apparently it was sold to some of our lads ( Bristish ) in Berlin by some Red Army soldiers for 2 bottles of whiskey and 100 fags !! ( Cigarettes )

My "100 fags" comment was just a bit of LAME comedy referring to above
Well, I thought it was funny anyway. Sorry
