Hi All,

 

before I buy the helmet, do you think it is areal BG star? Fixed bails,relic condition.

 

Thanks,

The positioning seems way off center to me.  If you have 1 star you are going to put it where it should be.

Seems very high up on the front and off to the left to me also. 

Compare the location with actual wartime photos and decide for yourself.

Yes I have been looking to period pics too. I found this one, there it seems as high as on this one.

That does look a lot more centered in that photo. Maybe there was an insignia under it? Hard to know for sure, but if it was cheap enough, I might take a chance on it. The relic condition and large crack doesn't help the value much.
