Luftwaffe Haube

Hello Gentlemen,
Picked this Luftwaffe Crew Flying Cap up last weekend. The son was clearing out /selling his recently decease father's belongings off (father was not a collector). Says his father was at Neubiburg Fliegerhorst near Munich, doesn't know much more. I think its kosher! - size 55, style LKpW101, the smudged red date stamp reads 2 Jan 1940. Do members know which type of air crews wore this type of flying cap. I've seen flying crews with style LKpN101 cap and its a different style altogether. Any information appreciated.
Cheers

Fake Challenge #4

Here you go guys- one more fake to have a look at; there are two things that are absolutely fatally-wrong, and at least two more that'd be of concern.

The text reads:

233 O

II/ Fsch. Jäg. Rgt. 5

Authentic Erkennungsmarken Display Site

Here's a great site for studying authentic Erkennungsmarken from diverse unit types (all Heer though): emarken.de

Just click on 'Galerie' and 'Heer' then whatever unit type you want to see.

Seeing as many originals as possible goes a long way to help one become familiar with the conventions, abbreviations, etc. used on Erkennungsmarken.

For anyone actually interested in collecting discs, I'd recommend saving any images you come across- real or not so you can have a database to refer to; it's particularly useful for fakes since as I've said a few times, you can often tell from the font.

Very unusual color on M42

My first post on this board and right away something, that will probably cause some disbelive. :rolleyes:

I own this M42 helmet for about 5 years. It was found in germany by a guy known to the metal-detectior community here.
The helmet was found in a typical disarmament hole, were a group of soldiers hat burried their equipment in 1945.
The location of the find is known to be one of the last locations of SS-Nord. The helmet was part of a stack of several similar colored helmets. That is the reason for the area of stronger rust coloring. This part of the helmet stucked within the helmet below.
The finder sold several of this helmets in differnd stages of decay on ebay.de.
When I got it, it was completly uncleaned.

The pictures shows the real color, light-grey rough painting over a
fieldgrey single decal SS-helmet.

Has any of you ever seen a similar colored helmet?
