Seriously, who is bidding on this and why? The pictures are garbage and blurry. There is no detail or markings either. If someone bids on this thinking it's original without doing any research then they deserve to get swindled.....smh

Wow, this is probably the only one left in existence!
Could you give us a few more pictures too, like showing a direct front, back, and right and left side views? If would be greatly appreciated!
I have been looking at a lot of stahlhelms and armor lately and this fake piece in particular caught my eye. The dumbest thing about it that makes it a fake is the engineering behind it. There are NO eye holes in this piece. Why would a soldier run around a battle field not being able to see...
I saw this too on another site. Someone did not replace the rear visor, but instead painted/colored it black and added a spine. The 119 on the back is odd, but interesting. This could have been some sort of regiment marking added after.
Maybe the 1530 plate is supposed to be a scroll wappen...
