Also thank you all for helping me come up with a fair offer for the helmet.
Although not an expensive item it was advertised by a well respected dealer (Giels militaria) as a mid/late war zinc Kvk2 without swords.
My concerns are regarding the colour of the medal itself (against the ring colour), and the packet envelope that against others I have (shown in photo) doesn’t have the "reddish" tint, although the font and print look correct.
Please see attached photos (apologies if photos are a bit pants) and as always I appreciate all opinions.
Thanks in advance,
Andre
Ex Polish army Wz 50 handed over for use by Civil Defence (Obrona Cywilna) based at the “Wujek” coal mine in Silesia, on the 16th December 1981 nine workers Solidarity members were killed by the Special Platoon of ZOMO Zmotoryzowane Odwody Milicji Obywatelskiej (Motorized Reserves of the Citizens’ Militia). A very sad day in Polish history but is thought to be one of the events that brought about the downfall of communism in Poland.
A pretty uncared for lid, the liner and chin strap were very dry and brittle so i used a leather preservative on them and now they are quite supple, the rest of the lid was filthy and took a few hours to clean up. It might be seen as a mundane Civil Defence helmet by some, but i’m more than happy with it. James C has a similar example!…
ZG37 leaflet was dropped from August to September 1944. The Allies printed 18,500,000, and dropped 16,956,000
