Hello,
I have a question. Is this m42 helmet legit or not. Thanks for the feedback.

Original ground dug M42 shell.... heavily rusted. Decal is almost certainly fake as it is on top of the rust. Almost no value or collector interest IMO.

Thanks for the feedback, the seller wants at least 130 euro's for it. Guess that's not going to happen.

Decal could be real but need a close-up.
