Opinion on authenticity of German Steel helmet
I found this today in Florida in an attic,i do HVAC work,so I almost fell over when i saw it,I dont have experience with helmets,however Im pretty sure it is a fake, my observations are
1. Runes are on wrong side of helmet
2. The decals dont jive with the condition of the paint,no scrathes
3. Never saw paint under the lid of a different color/tan,not close to Africa campaign
4. I cant find any markings or stamps inside
5. 2 holes in the center front of the helmet
So can anybody tell me if the shell is real,maybe re purposed after the war
Thank you for help
