I have the option to purchase/trade for an M40 helmet SD Luftwaffe helmet.
From the pics, I am quite certain that the SE64 shell is authentic WWII and it even has a nice batch number. The paint on the inside of the helmet and the liner look legit.
My questions about the helmet are in regards to the brass catch on the chin strap?
The outer paint job? Authentic? Field re-paing? Post war and aged?
Also the Decal itself? Authentic? Fake?
I don't want to make a trade/purchase unless it is authentic.
Any idea on value if it is authentic? I am not looking for an exact price but ranges usually work best.
Thank you
