M42 SD camo helmet
Hey gang...Here's another one of my favorites. Has about 50 percent of the sand cammo left on it. I wish I knew the history behind it - but I don't. I love the fact though that this camo was probably done by the soldier himself. Just mixed up some sand with some paint and voila....
I'm not big on camo helmets 'cause there are some really good "reproduction" camo helmets - but I knew this was a good one so I went for it.
This is a true combat vet lid - that's why I like it so much.
I'm still waiting for it to start talking! Ahhhh, the tales it could probably tell! ;)
Cheers!
Rob
PS.....If anyone has any idea where this type of camo could have been used - I'd love to hear about it. Normandy? Russia? Italy?
Thanks!

Luftwaffe NCO Pioneer
Hello
I am new at this forum. I collect mostly Heer uniforms, especially of the pioneer branch. I had been looking for a nice pioneer flierbluse without success. I was able to get this NCO flierbluse last year. I admit that it is very difficult to evaluate an NCO upgrade. As you all know they detached the collar patches to place the collar thress, so the collar patches are "replaced". The age of the insignia and thress match. The eagle is original to the tunic and it is factory applied. I can not see any evidence of previous eagle. The thress on the collar and sb match. The shpilder boards were sewmn in and match the color of the tunic perfectly. The only thing that I can tell you guys is that I like it. I am still looking for an EM pioneer and medical flierbluse.
Regards
Juan

Been browsing The Collector's Guild and came across this MKII Canadian helmet with H.C.G. on the front of it. According to the description they do not know what it means and I was wondering if anyone here knew.
