I found this Tschapka but some things about it are bothering me so I wanted to consult the forum to be sure. For example the stamp doesn't look crisp and is of the XIII. (Königlich Württembergisches) Armee-Korps which as far as I know shouldn't have Bavarian units. These are all the pictures I have right now but I will add more if I can get them from the seller.
( p.s. I would really appreciate it if you could explain parts of it that are wrong instead of just typing it's fake so that I can learn to distinguish fakes)

If you can post a photo of that from the side, I will bet that the back is straight from the front visor.

Many fraudulent Tschapka are made from spiked helmets so the back does not curve down. It is straight.

Original Tschapka on the rear follow the shape of the skull downward, which protects the back of the cranium. Like this:

I agree with Tony, Stuka and Bob on this one.
The frontvisor isn't attached how it should be,(it should be folded down, and then stitched so the stitching isn't visible) and the rear side is straight, it should have a curve, like Tony stated & posted.
 
Thank you all for your replies. Indeed the back seems to be straight from the pictures, I'll ask the seller for a picture from the side to make sure. Probably another frankenstein tschapka by the looks of it.
 
No hook for a Fangschnurr? At least, is there a hole to affix a hook? The shape of the mortarboard border does not look right; too square. Looks like DIY...
What is the round thing on the motarboard neck? The officer cockade is not correct here. If I can give you an advice, please show a picture of the liner. Diagnosis should be immediate. As of now, I see more red lights than on the 405 freeway in LA on a Friday night at 6:00 pm.
