Snoopy Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 These two new arrivals, is actually half of my NVA collection. The helmet and belt buckle cost me the princely sum of about 40 dollars. I dont't know much about prices on east german stuff, but I thought it was cheap. I hope you like them.All the bestSnoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Sorry about the lousy pictures of the helmet. I seem to be unable to take good pictures of helmets. If you want better pictures, let me know, and I will try to take some new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) Foam padded liner. The helmet looks like it's unused. The liner has an NVA ink stamp on the inside. Edited October 26, 2008 by Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Snoopy,At $40.00 I would say you did ok. The buckle appears to be of the earlier type with a catch similar to the WWII German types. The helmet would be the last model issued of which there are three differing mainly in the liner although one has a different rim than the others.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Craig Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Snoopy,The early belt buckles were very well made and are sought after for this reason. The later aluminum one really suffer by comparison.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
