Original ww2 m3 helmet?

[LE LOUP DES MERS]

Hey guys, I just bought a m3 helmet at my local gun show today and i compared it to many original examples and came to the conclusion that this has to be original everything on this helmet matches the originals I compared it to. But I could be wrong and to my knowledge they haven't reproduced this helmet but that's why i am posting it on here. I paid only $120 and this helmet even came with the instruction manual. I know these are very rare helmets so did I do good or is this a fake? Also is the instruction manual real or fake?Any feedback is appreciated thanks.

I don't thing they have reproduced these so I think you did fine.

Hey thanks man, I figured it was real i just wanted to hear back form someone first before I came to the it's original conclusion.

Actually, a great Flak helmet and having the instruction manual is a huge bonus. I think you did very well for your money. You could easily double your investment.
