I am planning on purchasing my first NSG helmet, and have on this forum been advised to buy quality, not the cheapest items. I have checked the different sites which sell helmets for many weeks, and I think I found one which fits by criteria: Not too high price (this helmet is 700$), SD, with authentic liner, and no rust.

The seller is River Valley Militaria, a seller which I have been recommended, and the description reads: "M40 Luftwaffe helmet with a coating Luftwaffe paint carefully painted around the decal in a trapezoid pattern. I can’t make out the liner band date and the leather is worn"

What do you guys think, does the helmet look completely authentic? Is it worth the price?
