Helmets & Parts

A very nice Dutch pre war helmet reissued in the Wehrmacht. There are in general two types of pre war Dutch helmets reissued within the German army. The first type was a compete example with Dutch liner and chinstrap which was captured directly from army stocks in 1940. The second type were 4160 unfinished shells that were sold to the German government by the Dutch company of Artillerie Inrichtingen that was liquidated in 1942. These shells were acquired and fitted with specially modified German helmet liners by the company Biedermann & Charnikow in Litzmannstadt. These helmets were made specifically for the Schutzmannschaft and mostly issued guarding rural areas and fighting Partisans on the eastern front. The helmet comes with its wartime converted and assembled German M31 liner. Due to the shape of the helmets shell the liners are always installed backwards on a specifically designed mounting plate. Externally the lion plate insignia on the front has been removed and the helmet has been fully repainted in a textured Feldgrau paint. Exceptionally rare example that would be very hard to upgrade!

This helmet was recently recovered in a small group of helmets which were collected straight after the Liberation in Valkenswaard, the Netherlands and has never been in a collection before.

Textbook M40 Heer helmet in tan camouflage paint marked Q66 indicating production by Quist. The helmet is a textbook single decal M40 Heer example which was period camouflaged in tan paint covering the helmet. The helmet retains up to 90% of the wartime applied camouflage paint. The camouflage paint over the decal is partially gone due to the fact that paint not always adheres well to the surface of a helmet decal. The helmet retains its original factory installed liner with matching paint on the helmet rivets. The helmet is named in the back of teh shell to a Obergefreiter. The helmet has a beautiful dark natural patina all over.

Rare unissued Heer helmet decal in mint condition. This decal was never applied to a helmet and is nicely marked Huber Jordan u. Koerner Nürnberg-O Abziehbilderfabrik. Nice piece that would nicely display in a helmet collection!

Hard to find loose set of original metal wire hooks to attach the Tarnnetz or German army helmet net to the German helmet. These are hard to find as a spare and a must have for a German helmet net. The price is for a single set of two original helmet net hooks in unissued new old stock condition. I have three matching sets. Very hard to find pieces to mount a helmet net!

Rare Dutch M33 helmet in untouched condition. This is the typical helmet as worn by the Dutch army troops defending my home country in the German invasion in May 1940. The helmet retains its factory installed liner and chinstrap. The helmet retains mostof its original factory attatched lion plate and paint externally. Hard to upgrade and hard to find example!

M35 Heer double decal helmet marked SE66 indicating production by Sachsichse Emaillierwerke. The helmet is a very nice, early example in smooth apple green factory paint. The helmet retains both of its original decals up to 90%. The helmet retains its factory installed zinc liner with untouched brass based rivets. The helmet is a real, combat used example with several dings and one most probably small shrapnell damage to the side. The helmet is a nice large size which would be hard to upgrade. Nice combat piece!

Intriguing M35 Heer battle damaged ex-winter camouflage helmet in as found condition. The helmet is a typical, pre war example in smooth green paint with two decals. This was covered with a white winter overpaint which was overpainted in a field grey. The helmet was struck by a bullet to the right side underneath the vent hole. A nice helmet!

French M1915 Adrian Artillery helmet in untouched, as found condition.

Extremely rare pair of pre war issued goggles in the original early tin. This example has one damage to the aluminium frame and has left overs of a sticker on one of the glasses. These are pre war issued to motorcyclists of the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS. The goggles are complete, in overall good and untouched condition. The head strap is still flexible and feels elastic and can easily be displayed on a helmet! This pattern has only been produced pre war and on a smaller scale as the later pattern, finding these in good condition is almost impossible. Note that the tin or case is also a rare early example with a brass divider and notable smaller as the tins for the later pattern goggles. These goggles would make a perfect addition to an pre/early war Kradmelder display or mannequin!

Nice original aluminium case for the Luftwaffe 295 type flight goggles in excellent condition. The case is nicely dated 1937 and is complete with the rare internal cup for the spare glasses. Nice and hard to find example!

Q64 M35 Luftwaffe double decal helmet that was found in Valkenswaard which is south of Eindhoven. The helmet was bought from a non collector in the early 2000’s and has been in a single collection since. The helmet is untouched and retains its original decals and paint up to 80%. The helmet retains its wartime placed helmet liner which is a warime (!) replacement. The liner pins are original to the shell but the washers are interesting, hand made examples which have always been in the helmet, exactly as it was obtained over 20 years ago. The helmet is a nice and untouched example in very good condition from a interesting part of the Netherlands which played a mayor role trough operation Market Garden!
