Cursed Fallschirmjaeger Helmet?

Hi everyone,

Not sure if this post belongs here or not but have any of you ever heard of a helmet that supposedly is cursed??

Years ago, I would attend a local militaria fair on Sunday mornings where all the collectors would gather to buy and sell. I always enjoyed the show and was able to pick up some nice items for the collection. Every once in a while, something would show up that would stop people in their tracks.

One of the items that showed up this one time was this battle damaged Fallschirmjaeger helmet. The poor fellow who wore it originally must have taken a round through the chin as there was a hole through the top of the helmet and the liner showed massive blood staining with bits of hair stuck to the leather. In reality, it was pretty horrible to look at and contemplate that the soldier met such a violent end while wearing this helmet....possibly while parachuting down. That was the theory that a few guys put forth, but I suppose it could have been suicide as well, which may explain the unsual "vibe" this helmet had.

We were told that the helmet was "cursed" and of course no one believed it, but stories soon began to come out about all the previous owners and how they would suffer grave misfortune. One guy was in a car accident shortly after buying the helmet, another fellow suffered a serious medical condition, another guy had his house catch fire.....all within a very short time of acquiring this helmet. The last anyone saw of this helmet was at another show that I wasn't able to attend. The helmet was in a glass display case when suddenly, the glass shattered for no reason whatsoever. The helmet disappeared after that and I was never able to find out who bought it but several people suggested to the new owner that he should take it to a German military cemetary and leave it there to end the "curse".

Anyway, it was a facinating story......have you guys ever hear of anything like this before?

Cheers,
Tim

Here’s my other collections, I’m sure some of these are fakes…

Pls feel free to comment whether these are fakes or not. I'll be posting a lot of my collections of 9 years. It's time to know the truth whether I'm holding a real or not... Thanks again guys.

2 of my EK2: the embroidered ribbon has a marked of "44". The other one has a marked of "65"..

Framing Nagant Revolver and TT33 Pistol

Hi, at the moment I'm waiting for some more deacts to arrives, this includes a Nagant Revolver and a TT33 Pistol. I've had this idea of framing them after finding a couple of old photo frames with the glass missing that are quite deep so they should be fine for displaying the pistols. I'm not too sure if they are deep enough though, they are 34mm deep so would the pistols fit and not be sticking out too much? I'll upload pictures of the various stages I go through whilst modifying the frames for the pistols just incase anyone else wants to try out the same thing.

Thanks

Danny
