I was looking at this RAD Hewer - I don’t mind that it’s in rough condition, but I’m wondering if it’s authentic. I’m no expert. The things that bother me right off the bat are the edge (other examples I’ve looked at don’t have a pronounced plunge line on the edge) and the etching, which appears to be on the wrong side of the blade.
Anyone who can chime in and tell me what’s what would be greatly appreciated!
Hi guys here is a helmet I picked up in Germany a long time ago. It is a Spanish M26 Casco Con Ala (’with wings’) falred rim and also known as the Trubia which was the second pattern of helmet after the M26 Sin Ala (’without wings’) no flare of the rim. This particular helmet I have has been repainted and fitted with a mount to support the francoist helmet badge. As you can see inside of the helmet in the dome retains its original factory paint. You can see on the liner and chin strap where they accidentally got paint on during its refurb. The liner has what appears to be a name written on it J.CELABERT. It also has J.G.O. written on the liner band and on the liner tongue PRM. Shows the possibility of 3 different wearers of this helmet. Thanks for looking guys cool militaria
