Bought this on Russian market

Bought this on market in Perm Russia for 70 euros. It’s a German cigarette box. Probably stolen from a dead German soldier by a Soviet soldier.

Question…..British 1942 helmet with Mk III stamps

G'day,

I picked up a British/Aussie helmet shell, looks nothing like a MK III its the traditional tommy helmet. It has no liner and has been painted gold by he former owner as a lamp shade, but where the chinstrap lugs on the inside of the helmet are is the date 1942 with MKIII stamped into each one. It also has an ink broad arrow dome stamp R.^A.

Any thoughts on this????? I as going to strip back the gold paint and clean her up a bit and I have no real knowledge on these helmets......

A Berndorfer

Hi all, Here is a WWI Berndorfer. I took the pictures fast this afternoon to help a member on another forum, but thought that you might like to see it as well, so here it is. No liner, but a complete liner band and web chinstrap with the typical Berndorfer friction buckle. Decent Austrian brown smooth combat paint, and the obligatory Berndorfer Bear over the size 66 stamp on the rear of the skirt. A few bullet dings that did not penetrate, but no doubt left Fritz with a bit of a headache and certainly attest to the fact that the original owner saw some combat! Hope you like it, Jim G.
