Textbook M42 single decal Heer helmet in three-tone Normandy camouflage marked hkp62 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. This is a beautiful example with wartime applied three tone ‘Normandy’ camouflage paint. The Heer decal can be seen trough the camouflage paint. The helmet retains its original chinstrap and factory installed liner. Textbook and beautiful example!

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.

 

Attractive Heer single decal M40 helmet marked EF64 indicating production by Emaillierwerke Fulda. The helmet retains its original factory fitted liner and chinstrap and up to 90% of its original factory finish and decal. The helmet is a GI bring back and retains a handpainted swastika to the front dome. Excellent and textbook Heer helmet!

Rare Japanese tanker helmet prototype. This helmet looks a lot like the flight training helmet but its chinstraps are different. This is a very rare and probably unique surviving example.

This helmet was a part of the late Nick Komiya collection who was a very knowledgeable Japanese collector who wrote many interesting articles on Warrelics and Wehrmacht Awards forum. The item sold here is a part of his collecting legacy here. A nice and rare example from a well known and curated collection!

Rare  M35 Luftwaffe double decal wire camouflage helmet marked ET64 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. This is a textbook pre war M35 double decal helmet with original factory installed liner and broken chocolate brown chinstrap. The helmet retains its original decals and factory finish up to 80%. Externally the helmet was lightly camouflaged with several neatly applied green spots all over the helmet. The helmet has a period applied metal wire around the helmet for the application of vegetation. There is a good amount of interaction of the shell with the wire which was applied to the helmet before the war’s end. The helmets shell is slightly deformed at the front left rivet which can be seen observing the shape of the shell. This is probably due to artillery explosion shockwaves because there is no damage to the shell or its paint indicating a direct hit or drop. The helmet is named Gefreiter Schwenk in the skirt of the shell. The helmet is a US veteran bring back and was stored in a footlocker until approximately 10 years ago when it was sold on the MAX show. It has been in a single collection since and now the first time on the open market. Hard to upgrade and for sure original wire camouflage helmet in excellent condition!

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!

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

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 M35 helmet with period field applied Rautarn camouflage paint. The helmet is a typical Heer example with its Heer decal peaking through the camouflage paint. The helmet retains its original factory applied and in my opinion blood soaked liner.

Nice aluminum cover for the Windschützbrille. The case is in good condition and dated 1936.
