Ebay gas mask and canister. Authentic?

If I correctly post the link : Orig German WW2 Wehrmacht Gas Mask-canister no helmet - eBay (item 130414097888 end time Aug-01-10 12:59:37 PDT)

I have always thought that to own a gas mask and canister would be pretty swell as they have always stood out to me as a very recognizable part of German combat gear.

What I don't know is if it is actually authentic from WW2. That's why I am asking for your help in checking it out. I would like to bid on it but get the real deal as well.

Shows how much I know...for years I thought those were their rations and mess kits container. Lol

Mutterkreuz silver pin just got.

Trying to start a mothers cross collection this is my start looking for the middle size next would love to own a full gold silver and bronze maybe one day.

Need help! Luftwaffe M40 Cammo Helmet

This helmet l dug out of my uncles shed, along with a double decal ss helmet which l just posted for help, cause he said he did not know anything about it, but the Cammo helmet was my Dad,s he took home in 1945, l beleive it came from a battle in ede holland may 2/45, vent holes are punched in, chin strap n liner are very nice and marked 56.
dark brown strap, and tan liner, very tight..a little wear on the rim and some light scratches over the whole helmet, looks like it was painted with a brush, redish brown and green, inside helmet looks black or very dark grey, is it worth anything, what kind of helmet? marked on the rim with et64 and 834..any help appreciated very much..

Where do people find all of these nice, cheap helmets?

I would really like to know how you guys manage to find websites which sell helmets that are somewhat cheap and nice


i mean, I've searched around to within several pages of google's results and all I find are websites full of both fakes and incredibly overpriced helmets that are being sold for much more than they are worth.

Often, I come across single decal luftwaffe helmets with really bad conditioned liner or none at all, sometimes even battle damaged, selling in excess of 1000-1200 dollars. Even worse, I find helmets with very similar characteristics for the same price, with the added bonus that they are fake or restored.

I was very shocked after having come from another website, essinally selling this for a thousand dollars, then coming here and finding it for 450. I dearly wish I had the money at the moment to buy that

So, anyway, I ask, how do I find such helmets? I wouldn't even mind overpricing either, as long as it is not insane.
