Been collecting military equipment for some years now. especially Danish / Scandinavian equipment and British / Commonwealth equipment…
Something truely unique to the Danish army have to be the M23 helmet. The somewhat medieval design is something I will never get tired of
My four different M23’s. The one with the decal is an army issued helmet, and the all black helmet is a CB issued helmet, later used by the resistance on Bornholm. The one with the green stripe still puzzles me! :confused: , but bought it because I liked it and it was cheap But still, I want to know what it is supposed to indicate?
The last one is a M23 fire-fighter helmet.
I have recently bought an M35 without liner nor leathers and since it is in relic but fair condition i can’t understand the size of it… Any help please! i will post a picture of the helmet and ask me for any other picture that may help to figure out and i will post them right away!:weep::weep:
Hallo everyone.! Digged out such a item, could you tell usage for it/ how it’s call?
L=8 cm; W=2 on one site- A.deichs other one- eagle& numbers
thanks a lot!
i bought this about 15 years ago and am hoping that this can be identified as to age and branch of service.it was used for hi-lo or lo-lo parachute drops by specially trained troops for infiltration under the radar.my usual searchs have not revealed much The helmet has a brown leather outer cover with 3 ribbed semi stiff inserts covered by black cloth.there is a separation between the cloth and outer cover which reveals a semi soft/hard inner rubber insert. the ear flaps have 3 small holes for wireless contact and at the back 2 flaps for holding goggles. i am hoping that the membership will have someone who has worn this equipment. it looks like the one worn by james bond in an early movie where he does a hi;low drop. there is a soldiers in white paint neatly done over the right eyebrow. thank you.

It’s a World War II. Soviet (ussr) medal / badge ” Ucastniku voini ” - (xxx let pobedi v velikoi otecestvennoi voine) 1941-1945. Item is in exellent condition from my old collection.
I have obtained a stencil for painting insignia on M33 Italian helmet. Would it be more authentic to brush paint or spray paint ?
Does anyone know if late-war RSI used the same markings as early-war helmets?
Hi guys, I was perusing the Wehrmacht-Awards forums and found this for sale on the helmets table. I cannot afford it and I am not advertising for him but I have never seen a helmet like this and the seller gave me permission to post his pics of it here.
It’s a camo single decal heer M40 and the para liner was attached with glue apparently. I think this is a really neat helmet just oozing with character.
I yesterday received the below brass tag as a bonus alongside a couple of German dog tags from one of my Stalingrad digger contacts.
After some light cleaning it translates (using Google) to ‘wedge fixing the clearance between the 3 lever and clutch release bearing’. It is quite small as compared to a AA battery so maybe it was rivetted to a chassis or firewall?
Obviously the language is French but as it must have come from a French vehicle or equipment in the hands of the Wehrmacht I figured this is the right forum to post it in.
But still, I want to know what it is supposed to indicate?
