The Deepeeka versions of the Niedermoermter helmets both have a serious mistake, which prevented me from buying them. The pearl-band decoration on the originals is a pearl-band wire welded to the helmets. (as can be seen above) The Deepeeka helmets have the pattern hammered from the inside through the helmet's brass decoration itself, and the pattern is much, much cruder. This IMO looks so horrible that I cannot recommend buying this helmet to anyone.

But make your own judgement:
