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

So I picked this up today as I was looking for a m1 helmet. The holes look good for m42 as they are attached. Maker’s Mark on the lip looked good as well as it’s Vereinigte Deutsche Nikelwerke. The texture on the outside felt good too. My question is is should I wipe it down with a cloth or leave it as is? I believe it is a late model from the war as the district stamp and Maker’s Mark are together on the lip.

OK. Throwing this one out there for a friend of mine. I’ve searched and searched.

Has anyone seen something like this? Might not even be German or TR.
