I’m looking for some thoughts on this WW2 Fallchirmjager Helmet. I am thinking of placing a bid for this helmet and would like to know if this helmet appears to be an original… I realize that the photos are too few and are poor quality as to determining the helmets authenticity. The helmet appears to be in near relic condition and extensive pitting and painted over rust parts. It is advertised as possibly an ET71 and the line is said to be a 12 vent. If anything, it would only be a display piece…if the price is right. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
