Please post photos of your helmet chinstraps. This is a rare one; Overhoff & Co. Ludenscheid 1941, also maker of belts. BEWARE: many fakes out there. BTW: the edge cut on this one is a little funky. I do not have a photo of the entire buckle/stitching either. It is on Helmet Weitze. :(

A very uncommon 1944 dated DRP band with RB number. None with a 1945 date that I know of. Left to right: 1944 RBNr. DRP 0/0471/0048 1943 RBNr. DRP 0/0471/0048 1943 Schuberthwerke DRP circle logo 1940 Schuberthwerke DRP circle logo ???? Schuberthwerke DRP unknown date zinc, linear logo (possibly...

An interesting M40 modified for flight crews. Liner removed, special chinstrap riveted on, sides of helmet hammered out for headphones.

I understand this youtube clip is showing M40 helmet production at the Quist helmet factory. Notice skilled craftsmen are making helmets using the 'old world' style cold press forming method. A steel disc is gradually pressed into shape using a number of cold pressing stations, probably with a...

Rural Police (correct term ? ) These early police decals are usually found on a variety of civic helmet models, but a few M35 combat helmets were factory produced with these. Period photo shows one in use, and there was a period photo of Thale factory liner assembly of these on Brian Bell's...

From what I have seen, there was quite a variety of A.H. busts produced during the TR period. I found a period photo from a advertisment in a HJ calendar and it looks like a pretty good match with this one. Probably wishful thinking but it would be nice it it was the exact same one as in the...

A period photo popped up showing this rare helmet. I call it the M34/18. When the modern mobile 'lighting war' was being planned, it seems a new helmet was needed to fit this mobility. I believe this to be a prototype, a cut-down M18 design, albeit retaining the large ventilation lugs and the...

I would like to attempt to catalogue as many TR era civic helmets as possible, including production in the occupied countries and captured enemy helmets used in TR era service. This one arrived recently. I would call it an M34 square-dip with salt-shaker vents (extruded 7 hole vents - pressed...

Ebay seller from Ukraine. Re-pops of German helmet shells have been encountered in recent years. A collector new to the hobby must now deal not only with fake decals, airbrushed decals, fake camos on original shells, now they must deal with fake helmet shells.

I found this at the Great Western Gun show in the late 1990s. I bought it from Ben Weed, the well known flag/standard/pole-top collector/researcher. He told me it was a direct vet purchase. After the war, everything Nazi was being thrown into piles. The GI found this in one of the piles. There...

From my early days of collecting, I had left these at my mom's house decades ago. She was deep cleaning the house, "do you want these or should I get rid of them?" :) I got these direct from a Vet at a local swap meet in about 1977. He said he was rummaging through a damaged house and found...

The Helmet Decals of the Third Reich by Ken Niewiarowicz In "The Helmet Decals of the Third Reich" the author Ken Niewiarowicz, together with his co-author Anders Lehrman, categorizes and analyses in depth for the first time in the history of helmet collecting the decals of the Third Reich. The...

Personal vendetta against ghw2 ?? This might have something to do with my featuring GHW2 helmets in the 'questionable camos' section. I don't know why they would say this, because I feature helmets in that thread from a variety of places; websites, eBay, dealers, forums, etc... I don't just...

http://www.ghw2.com/topic/584-war-images-wwii-helmet-related/page-41 Unusual 'S' shield decal on center helmet. It looks like a medium-duty M34 style helmet, two field policemen to either side wearing standard helmets. Possibly a para-military attached to a combat police unit. This same...

WWII German child soldiers

Possible snow camos. EDIT: My bad. I believe you are correct (not snow camos). Looks like Luft hbts for training

My small bayonet collection. 1. Late dress bayonet with simulated stag grip (carved wood) 2. Nickel plated K98 bayonet. No heat shield and the cross guard was modified, flat where normally curved. I am of the opinion that this was period produced, probably a private purchase item. Both...
