New Luftwaffe Helmet
John replied to Paul R's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment
Nice addition! I'm very jealous! -
That's what I was thinking. I have a really decent DD early lid from the invasion of Poland. Its rusty with faint decals but they are there. I like this, so will oil it up and lightly clean it. Hopefully this will reveal any stamps that are left. I enjoyed relics after becoming bored with other helmets that I had. I started collecting them a few years ago when they weren't that popular. Once I've sorted it out, I will post a pic. A friend of mine has dealt in a lot of helmets so I will run it by him next week. I'll let you know!

Nice Rifle! Have you fired it yet? With regards to the AA role of the sights, you have to bear in mind that the Japanese Army put great store in its infantryman, and almost the entire army consisted of infantry. They travelled light, and 'man packed' just about everything. Most of their artillery could be broken down, and they had very few tanks, and of these, they were essentially Light tanks, and primarily used only in the infantry support role. They were also were nearly always part of a large army or group. Imagine several hundred Arisaka's, firing together, at aircraft, and you now ha

Thank s John. I've had it in my hands and it's a very nice piece. And the price seemed good, but I know nothing about the 'NO.2' example. Cheers, John
