For sale: M40 “Used and Abused” by National Norwegian Army DD,albeit they are removed

Greetings, I am selling my m40 Helmet. Ultimately this helmet was used by the Norwegian National Army. This was my first helmet and it was black, but I used paint remover and found this "pearl" :D. The liner is original and is dyed, which is a common trait for Norwegian Helmets. It seems a shoe lace is holding the leather together, not sure if it is original or not. Wouldn't surprise me if it is. Overall the helmet is original as are the paint and liner. The only true issue is that the decals have been removed. I am looking to get about $275.00 for this but I am open to offers! Also concerning shipping it is free for the US but for worldwide it is an extra $10. Insurance is extra for both US and Worldwide. Insurance will be actual cost. Also concerning payment I would prefer personal check or a money order. I am not 18 so I don't have Pay pal. After the payment is received and/or clears the helmet will be shipped asap! The same or next day at the latest. I will post pics below if anyone would additional photos and/or information please don't hesitate to inform me. Thank you very much for looking. :)

Question Georgian volunteer?

Hi all,

Trying to identify this photo?

Is it a Georgian volunteer in German forces? Or....?

Also can anyone please translate the German/Russian(?) poster for me? What are the symbols top left and right and centre winged eagel(?) ?? Why a horse-shoe graphic?

Any help most welcome and much appreciated, thanks :)

WWII Red Air Force uniforms

Hello!
I finally found a visor that could have been used also with this M40 model. The other M43 is Air Marshal Asthakov’s jacket with matching visor and belt.
I just love these Air Force uniforms! More to come…..
