Hello guys, I`m considering buying me a reproduction german tropical helmet and I was just wondering witch ones I should go for or if I maybe should buy an original one?

Thanks for any help! :)

Don't buy any of the repros ... They're generally of the second pattern style ( no stitching ridges ) , have cheap and nasty decals ( though these can be replaced with much better ones ) , and the " leather " trim is in fact green plastic (!) ....

Buy an original if you can find one of suitable quality and size .
