Those are indeed very interesting. In the early 80s I remember seeing fakes pretty regularly but haven't seen one for a long time now.
I actually heard from one brainy fellow that originals can be discerned because they glow in the dark.

I believe they are members of the Finnish Dragoon Regiment.

I have a book written in german mentioning these particular soldiers. There was a good reason they had a scull and cross bones on there helmets. Very ruthless.
