WW1 German Helmet and belt

I thought you might like to see the helmet and belt that came with the ID tag I posted a while ago:

http://warrelics.eu/forum/imperial-g...an-id-tag.html

I think it is a german M17 style helmet, that unfortunately has had the liner rot away in my shed over the last 40 odd years, before I realized this stuff is somewhat valuable:weep: The worst part is there is two WW2 helmets still in the shed somewhere, and it is 45 degrees celcius here at the moment, oh well 40 odd years another few months won't hurt :(

Anyway, if anyone can enlighten me on it's correct model etc and the type of belt, it would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Grant

More of Allain’s collection.Part 4.

Well i don't know about you guy's but i can't get enough of this stuff.Here are some more great item's that are now in other collection's and many will never been seen again.I would like to make a request of anybody reading this that has any of these item's now to please place them on the forum as ive forgotten what some item's are from.This time i have pic's of Tank jack's, Fire Extinguisher's, Tiger I track link (possibly from Whittman's 007 as Allain was associated with the recovery of part's), wheel's and track link's from Kettenkrad, Track from Pz.I-II and possibly Bren Carrier and various muzzle brake's.I think the first one is Panther but not sure.Other item's are tail lamp's with number plate, tool's and a wheel with some unknown part.I have no idea what kind of final price they got for these lot's as i did'nt check the result's but i know the Tiger link started at 300 euro and wish i had of bid on that one.Allain played a big part in locating the site of where the famous Tank Ace died and a local farmer had some part's see in an After the Battle mag but can't remember the number.(a track link was one of those part's!) They also discovered the grave that contained Whittman's remain's together with 2 other member's of his famous crew on the side of a road and they have now been relocated to a nearby German War cemetary.The only idetifying item from whittman was the Belgian 6.35mm self loading pistol he was known to carry. R.I.P.
Anyway once again enjoy the pic's:D

More of Allain’s collection.Part 3.

Hi guy's,
I am posting some more of Allain's collection because these need to be shared.Not many people new what he actually had unless they went to France to visit him so the collection was very private.A lot of the item's had never seen the light of day for many year's before the auction so that's why i saved the photo's.Now it's time to share with all forum friend's and viewer's alike.This time i have included photo's of Infantry hand cart's in original shape and many Flak gun part's.Some are 20mm single and other's 37mm Quad.There are also some truck tailgate's with original paint and marking's:)
See pic's below and please enjoy:D
