Paul R Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 And the decalVery nice! It looks like it was never worn!Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted October 15, 2005 Author Share Posted October 15, 2005 That could be! And if it was worn,then just a short time-but to tell the truth-I prefer my helmets in this condition.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scowen Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Very nice!And in answer to your question on the thread with my M34 parade helmet, yes I do, an M40 like yours, although not as nice I think. I shall post it here later.CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scowen Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Here's my beaded M40. Slight difference in that it has the blue veined decal as opposed to the black veined type. Not rare, just unusual.CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorhead Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 That's a damn fine helmet,Don!I really like these LS helmets! Have you got some of the captured and reissued "foreigners"?Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scowen Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Thanks Micha,No I'm afraid not. I never seemed to get around to looking for one.CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorhead Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 (edited) Hi Paul,that's an interesting helmet......but more than 900$!! Never ever!

Do you have any tunics or insignia?All I have is a bevo breast "eagle"!Paul Edited October 22, 2005 by Paul Reck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 Sorry,but I've got only helmets.......it's the thing with the money .But if you are interested(I hope you are not the only one) I will make some new pics the next few days!Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a Dutch Captured example!Warm regardsPaulhttp://www.germanmilitaria.com/Luftwaffe/photos/L17854.htmlI'd be very cautious with that particular LS helmet. Notice how all the tell-tale areas used for spotting a fake decal are missing...... You'd have to see it in hand before judging, but I personally wouldn't touch it.CheersDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 You are absolutely right,Don. With interesting helmet I mean the dutch emblem-the most dutch LS helmets I've seen(including my own one) don't have it any more. Weitze has sold one with the dutch and the LS decal a while ago(a black one,350?...).This decal here is more than suspect......but I'm not in danger to get weak....I prefer helmets with good and complete decals-and the price is more than mad!I will post later some pics of my dutch LS.Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
