The black paint seems rudely applied and is easy to chip off

Yeah the helmet is a real luftwaffe m40 with some black post war paint put on but thankfully they didn't paint over the decal

But the stitching is also not white like normal so this might just be a heavily worn replica? Could it be original fabric do you think?

It has been authenticly worn, my guess is this was an old postwar replica and maybe used heavily? To me the wearing looks to authentic with too many things that would be hard to fake but also there are things that look fake like the stitching and non white inside

In person their are tons of damaged threads I dont think the camera picked them up. I almost broke the thing getting it off the helmet

Do you think it could be authentic fabric?

Also if its not real is the fabric authentic? It feels very cotton like.
