Helmet
A friend has this German helmet he bought in Holland in 1964... he's thinking of selling it on e-pay... he is aware of it's value. I thought it should be offered here first to see if anyone's interested... just PM me and I'll put you in touch. I have no financial interest.
The helmet is as you can see in quite good nick - even still has the leather internals and chin strap. It's located in Melbourne, Aussie.

Story
I'll ask where he bought it.. I know it was from a fleamarket... but no history as far as I know.

German helmet
Hi Keith,
Just spotted the photo on your thread,so I turned around here in my den and looked at my helmet up on my shelf beside my WW2 Canadian helmet.I have the same helmet and liner and it's a heavy sucker compared with the Canadian one..Mine is camo,a dark green interspersed with a dark sand.My father also picked this one up(off the ground)in Holland in the early part of 1945.The helmet is a small size and he said it came from a dead Hitler Youth sniper whose upper body was still hanging out of an upper story window of a building and had been recently taken out by the military police after the town had been secured and the front line had advanced past the town.Anyway,mine was rated at about $ 75 CAN a few years back,not because of it's true value,but the story on how it was obtained and from whom,behind it |

Small size
That's interesting, Gary - my friend mentioned this is also a smaller size - perhaps it was also Hitler Youth.

I have the same style helmet, this one looks cool , but decal looks "to new" with flaked paint , also the Steel rivit pins are the large types and head liner is more of a ww2 vintage for this m16 sytle helmet, if it was ww1 you would have a leather head liner band with cushions plus with the 2 steel face mask lugs , that are missing and small style rivits,and no decal, chin strap looks correct. Cheers
BIG MIKE |
