Um being the owner of an original German helmet I’m sorry to say this does no way meet up to an original with that said I don’t expect it to be but that said I do expect it to be a good replica as there is a good military shop on line that sells bang on the mark replicas also I have taken in to account it’s cheap but when the competition is turning out far better for the money well what can i say sorry just not rightMuch loved birthday present for my 14 year old history mad boy. As an ex army I find this replica well made and authentic with realistic weight. The holes on the chin strap are a little small but that’s easily solved by using a small screwdriver to widen them.I got this as a gift for my husbands collect of WW2 items, he was made up with it, its well made, strong, heavy, very authentic. well worth the buyGood replica, fair priceEs gibt nichts auszusetzen. Der Helm ist gut verarbeitet, Innenfutter fest verbaut, Kinnriemen aus Leder. Bei durchschnittlicher Kopfgröße lieber kleinere Größe nehmen, sonst wackelt die Schüssel schon stark.
