I was wondering is this is the more rare helmet, kriegsmarine decal? It looks like gold flakes to me up close definately has a luster to it! please give me some advice, as this is my first german helmet. Any Idea of how much this is worth? I think I got a good deal! I am trying to get a chinstrap which is correct for this one for a decent deal, and have found a few on Ebay which are original. Please help, any advice is appreaciated, I will post more pics when I get new batteries for my camera. Thanks again!
