Stahlhelm Fallschirmjäger Fallschirmjägerhelm 100% orig. bodenfund/ Paratrooper | eBay

To me it looks kinda weird - the flaking surface and warped edges make it look like it has been through a fire after being dug up? Could it be that repro lids are being bashed, burned & buried only to be dug up as as genuine Fallschirmjager relics later on??? heaven forbid!! ( insert knife for cutting sarcasm here ) …. or am I just being Mr Negative?

Cheers, Dan
