        Yes and don't worry, there are plenty of fakes to choose from.

            Only the first photo shows a palm cover.

            Palm covers, unlike palm smocks, were/are very rare.

                  Hello Max.
                  these are extra rare helm'coverings. there are many legends connected with his production.
                  on doc.photos, they meet only on soldiers TK(soldiers from "NORD", were supplied from a warehouse TK).

                    Regen, that is member norge helmet cover picture you are showing.

                    Note, that cover is norwegian Ustuf. Frontkjenmper nametaged and solid proof of vereran estate purcase.

                        I don't think they were extra rare before 1945. There (probably) were no zeltbahns to cut after the war.

                          Only tarnjacken and some of these rarely encountered helmet covers (surely made from the reuse of tarnjacken scrap material) are known to exist.

                            Correct. This is the only surviving original with solid provenance I know of and feel comfortable with. Rarer than a pre-war sown clip cover.

                              You can not be sure of this. You have never seen one and I didn't either but that does not mean they were not produced. There were probably a coupe of milions of zeltbahns produced during the war and how many of them have you seen to be sure of that?

                              Helmet covers in palm pattern may have been quite popular, you can find them on a few period pictures.

                              And you haven't mentioned camo caps which were also made in this pattern.
