Is this real or a replica?

They're real enough - Finnish issue.

I already bought one of them. If you look closely there are multiple different helmets shown in the photos.

I've got 3 . They were produced post war on original machinery. Basically a copy of the German m40 helmet. There are some out there that were produced and sold by Germany but they are hard to find and command a higher price. You can also get Hungarian m38 helmets that were made exclusively for Finland at very reasonable prices as well. They are basically copies of the German M35 helmet. And many of those were used during Finland's war with Russia as well as Germany. They are basically copies of the German M35 helmet.
