As I do own a few small German & Third Reich items, I took some photos on my day off (finally) and some of this was part of them.

I have also posted it on the German Helmet Walhalla forum.

"Dear Associates,

Some of you may know me, but I assume most will not. I mainly collect Soviet militaria 1917-1958. I do not own much German & Third Reich material.

In any case, I do own a few pieces, one of which is this. Despite its poor condition, I have owned &enjoyed it for quite sometime and am unable to let it go.

I thought it interesting to have it discussed here, and hope the images provided are worthwhile.

One attribute that perplexes me is that the LH decal seems to be an Army type decal. Or, is it the swastika decal that has worn off strangely?"

Regards,
Richie
