Rich Allen Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I just picked up this awesome looking helmet yesterday at a flea market, it was not cheap, but I just love it. Now my question is WHAT IS IT??? Any help in identification would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdbartow Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Bought this from Rick. Any idea what the yellow/green pom signifies. Also just learning about these wonderful helms so if I use the wrong terminology please correct me. Thank you. Any info would be helpful.

Keith I believe the green is just faded black. yellow over black are the colors of Munich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
