Motorhead Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I'm focused at iron crosses at the moment,but when a helmet like this one is crossing my way I can't resistThis one is a good,clean and nice wartime M16 that was overpainted mattblack and the reissued to the Luftschutz.The chinstrap is missing but you can't win all the time.The sizestamp is very hard to see under the thick paint,but I can read ET64.The liner is a bit damaged and shows some traces of water.Hope you like it.Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Great example ..I've never seen it confirmed in a Book but , I have a theory that during the War these Black Luftschutz Helmets (with front decal) were used by Factory Civil Defense/Police Guards. I have a few that also have the Luftschutz Decal on the front and a Company Logo on the side ..all Black.Since the "Luftschutz" and the Logo was done away with after the War , I think they removed the official front Decal and put the Company name on the front .Is there any sign of another decal ever being on the left side ?

Motorhead Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 No traces of other decals at the helmet.If there's something under the black paint it's impossible to see-the paint is very thick!Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
