Default Freikorps Helmet Original?
Any chance of this being an original paint job?

Thanks for any help

These paintings one helmets are an own field. I would be interested to hear some comments from Imperial collectors about the helmet.

Looks like the helmet was covered in lacquer which makes it a little harder to tell it's originality. The lacquer also discolors which takes away from it's "original patina". The skull (and camo) really could have been added at any time. Use caution if considering to buy!
