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?

Good catch! Yeah, I knew the flag, and overall aesthetic of the helmet looked off.
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.
