If that helmet is authentic with the decals. You are looking at a good chunk of change. A lot of dealers realized they can raise the value of the helmets by slapping decals on them. Id be a little leary of the double decals ones. I buy a lot of Nazi memoribilia from manions.com an auction house. that would be a good place to see what people are bidding on them.

Pretty bad fakes sorry to say, not even close to the real items. Get your money back if you can.

Sorry I agree the helmet is a fantasy piece. A real double decal SS helmet in that condition would be worth a chunk of change. The helmet is either a Spanish version of the German helmet or one of the post-war production ones. You can tell by the rivits holding the liner in, and by the liner. There should be 3 split pins and washers that go into the 3 holes used to hold the liner in. Here's my helmet which is a M40 single decal heer and has no liner in it but you can see the holes that split pins goes through.

Are you sure that the umbrella handle is not really a part of a Cain? Does the handle unscrew? The Helmets look too clean to be authentic to me I would be weary of them, I would get an expert to check them out.

Here is a real Waffen SS helmet(dark gray as opposed to the earlier black parade version).
