This one arrived in the post about an hour ago. Many thanks Mr Brandon ;). It is an ET64 double decal Combat Police M35.Lot number 3590. The decals have been 'de - nazified' but its a beauty. Nice chinstrap with period done repair, and a 1937 dated liner band.Here are a few pics. I will post some of the liner etc later.
Hello guys,
Well seeing some called my Helmet an over painted chech black lid which it is NOT (started by another lid on the same site) i thought i’d take some outside shots showing grey under the paint (not black!).I know it looks a bit fresh in these digital pics but thats Technology for you.It actually has good age and ware to it with heaps of character.You don’t get that with repro lids! Who in their right mind would put fake cammo over an original SD lid for goodness sake guys.Think about it before you reply as there are real Helmets out there believe it or not and not all are fake:D
I just picked up my first German helmet. M40 type green rough paint stamped vent hole rolled rim w/very nice decal w/gold fleck in it. My question is on the liner. The liner and leather are very fragile because of sitting in an attic for over 40 years (admission from previous owner). Would it be advisable to find a repro or real liner to replace it? Same question for the chinstrap? Both of these parts are broken or missing parts. All hardware is there.
Hi guys
My grandfather just died and i found in his apartment
a set of 11 nazi plates. There are six soup plates
and five main dishes. They are without
scratches and they have never been used. They where
hidden and nobody knew for them. I live in Bulgaria.
I am not a collector and won't use them so if somebody is interested just tell me.
Best Regard

Im aware that many german army german helmets either had a decal, or two or none.Im not sure though if ss helmets always had a decal???, or like the army could ss soldiers in some circumstances be issued with helmets without decals,?and if so then collectors must come across fully used ss helmets which will be forever thought of as probably army because they have no decal, and fetch prices acordingly?LV.
I wonder if any forum member has thoughts about this quite interesting (potentially interesting) buckle?
A casual glance would suggest DLV, although has anyone every seen such a design of eagle and furthermore, to include the eagles head which is clearly looking upward?
Is it DLV or could it have been manufactured and used by another organisation?
Following a conversation with an advanced collector and researcher who is a forum member, a few tentative alternative ideas have been suggested.
Any comments would be greatly welcome.
Regards,
David
Hi Guys
I need some expert opinions.
I have attached some pics of a K98 ammo pouch which is driving me crazy as I have serious doubts towards its authenticity, specially when I compare it with another example which definite WW2. Can someone confirm?
