Textbook Heer Infanterie officer visor marked Erel Sonderklasse. The visor is in very good, lightly worn condition and would be a nice addition to any headgear collection!

Textbook ex winter camouflage M40 field repainted helmet in excellent condition. The helmet is a typical field repainted example in Graublau paint, on top of a winter white wash paint. The helmet retains up to 85% of its original paint. The helmet retains its factory fitted liner and would be hard to upgrade!

Extensive grouping to Otto Heinz, serving in Infanterie Regiment 71. Heinz served from the begin to the end of the war. The grouping consists of his Soldbuch, Wehrpass, Arbeitsbuch, 4 awards documents, a large citation, a three-piece medal bar, a wound badge in black and his Erkennungsmerke and pouch. The Soldbuch is heavily worn; it shows how a field used Soldbuch should look. There is many interesting details including his awards, furloughs and units. Heinz carried a Italian 6.5mm rifle and was issued a a Belgian 9mm pistol in 1945. He was promoted to Gefreiter 1.4.1940, to Obergefreiter 1.10.1940, to Stabsgefreiter 1.3.1943 and Unteroffizier 1.5.1945. He served in the Blitzkrieg in Poland, Belgium and France. 22.6.1941 his unit broke through the Russian border, fought at Minsk, Dnjepr, Smolensk, Beresina, Scosh, Gomel, Brjansk, Orel, Rjasan, Tula, Don and Stalingrad. He survived the ordeal in Stalingrad and broke out; his Wehrpass mentions it is a replacement example for a member of the former 6th Army. The grouping is a nice set that would be a great base for in depth research. The group was sourced straight from the son of the veteran and was always kept in a small wooden box that comes with it. Historical grouping!

The helmet retains 99% of the original textured factory applied paint. The helmet has a big 60 size liner which is original to the helmet. The helmet is a great example of a minty exceptionally large helmet. Inside the dome the dome stamp is still clearly visible and the skirt of the helmet is nicely named to Vinken.
Over the general production only 5% where made in size 68 which makes it a rare size to find, especially in this minty condition. If you’re looking for a rare and large sized M42 Heer helmet this is it!
