Adrian Sellner, SS Mann “Rock SS”

For those interested in a black service uniform of the Allgemeine SS in honest condition, this piece just appeared which I can recommend with enthusiasm. It is the issue tunic of the era 1937-1939 with all the features one seeks, save someone removed two pieces of insignia at some point. It is on the Grenadier Militaria website.

Bob Coleman will remind us that this sort of vandalism of insignia is quite normal, despite the fetish of the untouched regalia appearing either from the veteran or the actual owner's family in Kempten or Hannover Nord.

Notice the cuff titles denotes the 3d Sturm of whatever Standarte this was, and not the 3 Standarte of Nuremberg as indicated in the description.

If someone can decipher the Sutterlin of the locale where this man lived, I would be grateful. My attempts have drawn a blank.

Who was Adrian Sellner and what happened to him?

PS this is not my property, either.

One seldom gets a chance to have a named piece as this, as most of the black uniforms extant are ex Lenfilm pieces that have been rebuilt. This piece is not that at all.

Question What kind of Helmet is this?

Hello
I need to know what kind of helmet this is. I am thinking it is a russian m/40 from around the WWII era. There are several marking inside the helmet. First there is a number engraved inside near the back it is 1--1852. Then right by that number there is a number that is stamped on, it is 975. Near the side of the helmet there is a faint stamp of a star. Laslty near the crown of the helmet there is a stamp K-7. I would really like to know what kind of helmet this is and the exact year it is. I would also like to know someones opionion of how the helmet was used, was it used in combat ect... Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you
