Good day, gentlemen! I've bought an aluminium parade helmet SS m16.In discription it was called as "Waffen-SS Kavallerie-Parade-Stahlhelm M16". In this discription is talled that there are only several such helmets in the world. But I am a bit confused with the swastika circle that is off-center to the top. Please, give your opinion about these two decals. And maybe somebody of you have the same helmet. I'd like to have a look. Thank you.

Sorry, but you've acquired a totally bogus rig there...absolutely nothing genuine/original about it except possibly the aluminum shell. Hump on back to the person who sold it to you and demand your money back. Also get yourself some reference books so that you know what the 'real deal' looks like.

Robert, Mike, please, make more precise what's wrong with the runic decal.

Thank you, Vladimir.

Neither decal exhibits the proper graphic features of the original SS decals. I recommend getting "SS Steel" by Kelly Hicks. It will fill you in on all the pertinent decal details and can be found on eBay for about $40. Good luck!

Vladimir has no idea how rare these items are, how difficult they are to find, or how extensively they have been faked. But I assure you this dealer did, just based on the growing list of ultra rare items Vladimir keeps showing. You have to be very well versed in ss collectables to even come up with this group of items. David
