Some say they didn’t exist during the war ( but photos seem to prove otherwise )
Of course this guy used strips of cloth - which I think is quite cool!!cool militaria
And this one used a FULL cloth cover
But certainly the ones ( most of them ) that we see these day are contrived ‘art’ helmets.
There are lots of period images showing medics WITHOUT any such helmet - just a plain issued stahlhelm - but you cannot dismiss the painted ones out of hand with photos such as these.
So what are YOUR thoughts? Do you have a helmet that can be proven to be period? ( I don’t ) If you do, please show it here - or if you can finger ones that are definitely fake, show us all so we can all learn. Many collectors avoid them like the plague because of the concern over them but I think we have a ‘duty of care’ for the up and coming generation to name & shame if we can..:o(
Cheers, Dan
( I do NOT own the above images - they were found on the interweb and no copyright information accompanied them. If the ORIGINAL photographer wants them taken down I will oblige …..:p )

Any soft headgear goes, ie Schiffchens, M-43s, Donald Ducks, M-42s, visors, etc–so as long as they are TR, post away!
