Although this one is advertised as German, it is obviously Austrian due to the chinstrap which is fixed straight to the shell (instead of the liner or the shell through M91 posts for the German M18 & M16, respectively).
It looks very nice nevertheless. Authentic? I don't know... :-k

Its always tricky to buy a camo helmet on ebay considering the huge amount of fakes, which are offered there. With regards to this helmet, I am not convinced of its authenticity either because, for example, the liner looks a bit too fresh.

Something wrong here I can't put my finger on. Surely, the seller doth protest too much as to why he is selling. Note he never does use the word original - anywhere.
 
the helmet gives a good first impression but if you look closer you'll see some issues. First of all are the rivets, these are not correct, wich makes the liner also suspicious.
If you look at the front taken picture you'll see quite some imo artificial damage.
I would pass on this one.
