Poor Example

This dealer tells us that the chinstrap is a replacement. I wonder why he doesn't tell us about the Galvano Wappen?
AND it's a poor quality galvano copy as well!

I don't think this is galvano wappen. Anyway without image of back side. It isn't impossible to be sure.
 
Yes, I would not jump to conclusions without more info. I think it looks like a legit helmet and wappen from pictures.

I think that the Wappen lacks detail and looks bubbled. Compare it to another example shown here:

Look at the cross on top of the globe as an example. Maybe it's just the photograph, but I would have to see the reverse side before I bought it.

I don't see any issues with the spike - what do you see that I overlook?

I don't know maybe the angle of the photo . It looks a little narrow and the vent part looks a little tall.

Maybe I am seeing things.
 
This is one of those cases that you actually need to hold and smell the helmet to find out if its good or not. But on the other hand its from the UK....
