This helmet comes from the barn of an elderly collector. It is a German M40 helmet reused by the Norwegian army after the war.
The helmet was made at the Eisenhüttenwerk Thale (ET64). The Wehrmacht decals are definitely fake.
Can anyone tell me which manufacturer name is on the chin strap?
Is it possible that the original German Feldgrau coat of paint is still under the green top layer?
Is there a good method to remove the green paint without damaging the underlying Feldgrau layer?
Hope of interest, arrived today looks like previous owner had a close call. Looks to of had a heavy impact leaving a nasty furrow / dent to the top. Causing the bumper pad on the inside to buckle up. Also to the front is a painted horse or lion. And to finish off is an early net that has been attached to the chin strap.
I buy this cuff title, i compare with other cuff titles here in fórum and looks good for me, but i am not a expert, someone can help me about that? Thanks very much.
Hi.
Just purchased these two daggers at an auction. The first one is obviously a HJ dagger with the diamond replaced. But can someone help me to identify the other. The bakelite handles and handleshape looks almost the same as the HJ knife without the diamond, but the scabbard is silver metallic and the blade is thinner and shaped different. Pretty sure they are both authentic. Appreciate any help. Think I might have overpaid at 225$
