joetauchretter Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hello all , I work with a man at work who's father just passed away and he gave me this helmet today . The man's father was a WWII vet and this was hanging in his attic by it's leather chin strap since 1945 ! This helmet looks completely untouched to me as all the leather is very dry and brittle , nothing is new and fresh on this helmet ! To me this looks like an M42 double decal Waffen SS helmet , as I am a Kriesmarne collector I would like your opinions on this helmet .Best Regards , Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Darrell Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Can't speak about the authenticity of the helmet decals, but to me it appears it's a DD Polizei rather than SS?An example: Edited January 14, 2009 by Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
