Here is nice and untouched SE 64 Heeres helmet, made in 1940 year. Single decal helmet in battle worn condition, origiinally factory placed liner's ring, unfortunately without the inner ring and leather liner. The helmet is still good, and can be asily equipped with inner ring by wish of the feature owner.

Here is nice Wolchow front found helmet, I ve bought it about 5 years from a guy who found it near Leningrad. The helmet is nice and untouced, I prefer to keep it in that condition without cleaning and restoring. The helmet has it's leather part which is still intact, but unfortunately all of 5 inside liner springs are rust away. 2 small must probably rust holes trough helmet, and one battle crush. The Heeres decal is present. All the better says the pictures. SE 64

Hi Guys, as this question comes up very often, I thought it would be useful to place a pinned thread on the subject.

The key to determining an original from fake, like so many other German items, is the reverse.

Here is the edge detail of an original. Note the pattern of the weave and how it forms are series of small almost even sized "dots" right near the edge of the cuff title. This is only seen on originals. Fakes have a series of dots and longer taller dashes which are very uneven in size which appear to look like this:

.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I

Hope this helps?

Cheers, Ade.
