I’m at Cypress College Swap Meet in Orange County, CA. (Hi Patrick). Guy was asking $450 for it. Kinda steep for me, but super interesting, regardless. @RobertMewler thoughts?

Looks like it was made for the Belgian SS foreign division. So worth a buy if you want to cosplay as the runts of the litter that was the Nazi war machine.

Good catch! Yeah, I knew the flag, and overall aesthetic of the helmet looked off. An interesting coffee table piece tho, nonetheless.

Looks pretty cool but 450 bucks? Kind of steep

I mean, it's always pretty much impossible to gauge the authenticity of these things. It isn't hard for a scumbag peddler to put some primer on it and Google obscure Nazi insignia to make it look more unique. Or the GI who pilfered it from Hans (or Rene in this case) decided to touch up the paintwork back in the 60s and his backwoods, Schaefer-chugging ass thought adding eagles and swastikas was cool.
I'd take a look at the other stuff he has and how reasonable they are. If it's a lot of cheap-looking or exaggerated shit then he might be a bullshitter, or he's just a rube himself.

Their country is also overrun with blacks and “migrants” (code for knife-wielding jihadis)

So is the Netherlands so i shouldn’t really be making fun of them. But they’re still pseudo French bastards!

It's possible that the original leather cracked and someone put a new one in, it doesn't look particularly worn for an 80-year-old helmet. But yeah, that's a red flag.
