Helmets & Parts

Textbook German helmet chinstrap in good, close to mint condition, most likely unissued. The chinstrap is nicely marked R. Ehrhardt Poessneck 1942. The short buckle part is nicely manufactured out of pigskin leather. Beautiful close to mint late war example which is hard to find as a spare!

Rare Kriegsmarine helmet with numerous wartime overpaints. The helmet is a feldgrau base with gold Kriegsmarine decal which can be seen peaking through the whitewash and blue grey paint on top. The helmet retains its factory installed liner and chinstrap and would be a nice addition to a coastal artillery collection!

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

German helmet chinstrap with aluminium buckle in excellent and complete condition. Hard to find spare for a early helmet!

Textbook M40 single decal Luftwaffe helmet in good used condition. The helmet is marked SE66 indicating production by Sachsichse Emaillierwerke. The helmet is named Fu. Pohl with Fu. most probably indicating Funker. Nice, issued example in good condition!

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.

Beautiful example of a untouched Heer tan camouflage helmet as worn in the Afrika Korps and Italy. Textbook; one looker piece!

Luftwaffe flight goggles Duchrowe & Co, Bünauburg in excellent condition. Less common, mid to late war variant which I have only ever seen one other pair of that I was gifted in 2005 from a Canadian veteran who liberated it in the Netherlands in 1945.

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!

Nice early original issue flight and motorcyclist goggles in good condition. The goggles are nicely marked CK 39 on the hinge which attache both eye cups. Textbook example!

Luftwaffe LKp. W. 101 flight helmet in excellent condition. Complete with cable, throat microphone, headphones and straps.

Battle damaged Q64 M40 no decal helmet in as found condition. Textbook late war no decal M40 helmet made by Quist in the shell size 64. The Quist marking is hard to read because of the thick paint used inside the helmet which is typical for this variant. The helmet retains its original factory installed and blood soaked liner indicating a battle damage. The helmet is in good condition with most of the original finish remaining. Hard to upgrade piece that tells a tale.

Textbook, late war M38 paratrooper or Fallschirmjäger helmet marked CKL68 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet is a typical late war example with non vented aluminium bolts. The helmet retains its rare late war slide buckle chinstrap without press studs. The helmet retains its original, blood stained, size 57 liner. The liner does not have its crown which I presume was removed during or after the war. The helmet is a nice original example in good used condition!

ET66 M40 Heer Ex whitewash three-tone camouflage helmet in good condition. The helmet is a interesting example which was repainted multiple times. Starting its life as a standard single decal Heer helmet it was subsequently repainted in a winter whitewash which was later overpainted in a three-tone spray painted camouflage pattern. The helmet was at some point coated with a clear lacquer. The helmet is a nice example with a large portion of its wartime three-tone camouflage pattern showing. The helmet retains its factory installed liner. A nice example !

Typical Luftwaffe flight helmet without electrical components.
