Norstrom Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 Hi Paul! Here is a couple of closer pictures of the helmet!
Norstrom Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 Mr Kitchen! I send you this picture on a coastal artillery lieutenant jacket first which I
Norstrom Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 I don?t know what happened but I go on with my text! I bought the jacket from Norway. As you can see is the swastika under the eagle gone. When thepeace came 1945, all swastkas must been taken away from all uniforms. The medals have I just put on the chest after I bought the jacket.
Norstrom Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) Small peace from a KM vest for finer occasions! The medal is just placed there by me. Edited November 11, 2008 by Norstrom
Norstrom Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 Here is a KM jacket which I found on the bottom where Tirpitz sank. The jacket were drowned with oil but I cleaned it. You can find name and stamps on the inside. the frame comes from the civil ship "Hamburg" wich sank in Lofoten, Norway by the destroyer Cossack during the Lofoten raid.

Paul R Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 That is one great helmet! I love it!Are you saying that you found that KM jacket under water? How long had it been submerged?
Norstrom Posted November 13, 2008 Author Posted November 13, 2008 That is one great helmet! I love it!Are you saying that you found that KM jacket under water? How long had it been submerged?I found it in 1995-96 i think and it was laying on 15 meters deep in the mud. The jacket was also full of oil but oil is also preserving! I had it in many ligroin bath before it was free from oil. The bottom was full of remains from the ship!!
Steiner Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 That has to be the coolest jacket find I have ever heard of. WOW
Paul R Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Can we see closeups of the jacket? Is it in a fragile state?

You can find name and stamps on the inside. the frame comes from the civil ship "Hamburg" wich sank in Lofoten, Norway by the destroyer Cossack during the Lofoten raid.That's the arrangement I was thinking of, & I like the jacket with "missing" swastika.Some people would be tempted to replace the damaged eagle.
Norstrom Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 Close up pictures from the KM jacket!
Norstrom Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 the cloth can also be in poor condition! But the historic feeling comes anyway!
