Need help! German helmet, real or fake?

I am going to make a purchase, but want to make sure this is real or a good fake. I also want to know what is a good price low and high for this if it is real.
Anyone?

Thiel of Danzig

Thiel of Danzig is I think now quite well known, however having said that, this RZM approved company ((RZM M4/111), is still something of a mystery.

Does anybody have any Thiel buckles to show ?

Here is a very odd SA and of note is the "shadow" stamping to the makers oval mark.

Regards,

David

Hi
I would most appreciate your help on the authenticity of this stahlhelm.
In general it looks good for me, the chinstrap was added later, but the shell is what i like at most.
Regards!

Ss chinstrap,but is the helmet ss?

Guys in my collection of relicsi have photos of on the site ,is a sweet little m35 helmet which recieved a massive shrapnel hole ,which continued thru the liner leather. The hole
its about the size of a small apple.the chinstap has an ss aceptance stamp on it.although the area where there might have been an ss decal has pitted to an exstent that the decal would not have survived .in your opinion can i take it for granted that this is a waffen ss helmet.have anyone come across say a genuine army helmet with an ss chinstrap ?interested to hear your exspert views.
