Hi everyone, I would like to get some opinions on this helmet. The seller claims it is an original German M35 or M40 helmet that was later used by the police in the BRD and was repainted for display purposes at some point. I am planning to use it for reenactment, so I would be stripping the current paint and repainting it, as well as adding new decals and such. Does this look like an authentic re-issued piece to you? Also, is 90€ a fair price for this item? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi everyone, I recently bought these three badges from a local seller who claimed he was clearing them out for his grandmother. Standard story, so I'm naturally a bit skeptical and want to make sure they are the real deal before doing anything else. Badge 1 (Top): Luftwaffe Flak Badge Badge 2 (Bottom Left): Auxiliary Cruiser Badge (Hilfskreuzer-Kriegsabzeichen). The reverse shows a "Fec. Adolf Bock / Ausf. Schwerin Berlin" maker mark. Badge 3 (Bottom Right): Army Flak Badge (Heeres-Flakabzeichen) I have attached front and back pictures (with sensitive symbols covered according to general guidelines). Could the experts here take a look at the setups, hinges, and overall details? Do these look like period-original pieces or reproductions? Any specific maker attributions for the Flak badges would also be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time and expertise!
