Re: German Helmet WWII
First of all, welcome to the forum.
The helmet shell is the civic variation and I doubt that it is a fake. However it may be post war as this design was produced up until the early 70s.
Are there any stamps or markings inside the shell?

Re: German Helmet WWII
There is nothing inside the shell, and for that reason I thought that was fake…
Maybe is that, it could be postwar... a shame :P
Thanks for the answer

Re: German Helmet WWII
I've never come across a fake civic shell-but that doesn't mean that they don't exist!
What I find unusual, is the absence of any markings, even post war shells have a batch number stamped in to the metal.

Re: German Helmet WWII
It's a fake i think. After the war germany still had many helmets. they used the helmets for the fireman. you can see that by the little round of holes on the helmet.

Re: German Helmet WWII
Welcome to the forum, thompson.
May I ask what makes you think the helmet is a fake?
