Unique Waffen-SS helmet with original oak leaf cover found in Mons, Belgium
Superb and surely stunning original Waffen-SS helmet with the original Waffen-SS oakleaf cover it was found 4 years ago in Mons, Belgium. The helmet and its cover both show the same wear, patina and the cover surely is a exact fit. The cover retains the shape without the helmet and the helmet or its cover have not been cleaned after the find. The cover left the imprint of the seams and wrinkles on the helmet shell. It is unmistakable that this cover spent the last 75 years on top of this helmet. The cover is a textbook oakleaf example with anodized aluminum hooks finished with single needle sewing machine. The helmet is a textbook ckl64 marked example indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet retains its original ET Waffen-SS decal up to 70%. One can find a SS helmet and or a cover; but finding a original set that has always been together is near impossible. A real conversation piece that would be a nice base for further research!
