Fallschimjäger Helmet Found

#1

I found this in a local shop and am trying to confirm its authentic. I am not an expert on this stuff and I have been trying to compare to images online but am still unsure. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Agree with Mark.... decal & paint bad, look at the raw steel where the paints chipped off... fake all the way...IMHO.
