Another new one-this one is from the late 20ies or early 30ies-one piece construction(complete brass) with this "strange" pin you can find at spanish crosses or woundbadges.There's also a screwback variation that I will show when it arrives... Micha

Washer and little screw

For the friends of the imperial iron-one of the most common 1914 screwbacks....what can I say,let the pics speak! Micha Obverse

Please have a look at this one.... http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 Cased,smooth arms but more than 880??? It don't looks like the model with the purple eagle,or am I totally wrong? Or just a big mistake by the winning bidder? Micha

one more....

Just two more pics....a comparison between a CD 800 and a"square"My problem is-I don't own the EK type shown by Joe,and I don't have a "square" marked screwback-just the "800"marked variation.But be shure I will take the next few "squares" and all the others....... Regards Micha

Here is my new one-sorry for the bad pics! When I compare the color of my two Ssh36,I think this is also a repainted one for the Luftschutz.So have a look at the pics... Micha

And a question to the experts-this week another Ssh36 dropped in(I haven't seen the helmet at daylight,so I can't say it's repainted for the reissue at the Luftschutz or it's the original painting(a dark grey,green or bluegrey....)The biggest surprise for me was the liner-2nd model like my two other helmets,but with orange red foam pads around under the inner ring.I will take some pics tomorrow.....

Here are my "russian" helmets-I collect captured and reissued Luftschutzhelmets.....I hope you don't mind that they are not in the original russian condition,but I think they are much harder to find as many german combat helmets.First my Ssh 39 with the 2nd model liner.

Mike, good points-The "flat" catch speaks for a CD 800,also the poorer quality of the core.But Joe's example here has got definitely the "square" pin.And there are no voulted CD 800 known.So when we remember thad Heyden said all the voulted EKs where private issued I think we've got simply two variations of the same manufacturer. Even if the cores are not identical to the last detail,they are very,very similar.In my eyes it's the same setup!So....have we got a vaulted CD 800 without mm? A square with the right pin but the wrong core? All in all a very interestig EK(and I whish I woud have it in my collection)! Regards Micha
