Hi,
I present you my german helmets.
So we have a M35/40 Kriegsmarine Helmet and a M40 Luftwaffe helmet.
My grand father brought back the Kriegsmarine helmet from the St Nazaire pocket ( french west coast ).
I can't say if the upper band is original or not but the lower band is marked "4922" so this one seems to be added. I think..
What is the "SS" look alike on this picture ? I don't pretend it is an SS marking but it always disturbed me...
I do not know how to thank you Hambone except to tell you just thank you ! You are very kind to deal with it.
Well, I asked the pictures and measures. Then we'll see if it is really a post war.
Ok so you are sure the second sling is also a bad one ? I don't have to ask him more pictures and measures ?
If this second sling is not good I will ask him the bayo of course !
Are you really sure of what you say ? It is very important because I exchanged it with a german ww1 bayonet.... So if it is a fake one I have to send it back and take my bayonet...
