WWII M35 ET68 German Kriegsmarine Shipboard Helmet
Item H415: Here is a very rare and hard to find Kriegsmarine shipboard painted helmet with painted around decal and in a very large size. Most of these helmets are at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean. Entire exterior has been period overpainted by the sailor leaving the decal exposed. A certain amount of rust bleed through is clearly evident which was caused from prolonged exposure to the salt water elements. The authentic and factory applied KM adler decal exhibits the proper layering which almost gives it a 3D appearance. Toward the bottom of the decal are multiple semi circular pattern wear marks which I would consider are attributed from the helmet rocking back and forth inside of a cradle which held the helmets in place until needed. There may have been a rivet that caused the specific wear. (See attached period photo from ship). Liner system 100% original to the helmet. All three untouched split pin rivet fasteners intact and complete with all three slotted washers. Reinforced aluminum liner band manufacturer stamped Werner Zahn and dated 1939. Goat skin leather liner fully pliable, relatively undamaged and has taken on a darkened aged appearance. Only some slight chaffing to the leather.

WWII M38 ET68 German Paratrooper DAK/Tropical Camo Helmet
Item H446: This fantastic helmet has been in my personal collection many years. The helmet came from Illinois but unfortunately has no Veteran provenance. It is an Afrika Korps/Tropical Fallschirmjäger helmet that has a rough texture base created from sand mixed with tan paint which encompasses 98% of the exterior of the helmet. In my honest opinion the chipping to the left and right side was caused by an unknown source. I come to that conclusion because the same exact chipping is evident on the front of the helmet. Liner system is 100% original to the helmet. Each of the four spanner bolts has 2 nuts attached that have never been tampered with. The grayish concussion pad still has some give to it. Leather liner 100% intact and fully pliable. Chinstrap harness 100% intact, fully pliable but has a small WWII period repair on one side. PRYM snap 100% correct.

This was sent to me by the Nephew of the Veteran that brought the helmet back from Europe…
It was brought back after WWII by my uncle, Colonel William Thomas Watson. He served in France and Germany in the infantry. While I don’t know a great deal about his military history, he did fight at the Battle of the Bulge. During the battle, the radio with his group (I don’t know enough military jargon to know the technical name of the group a colonel would command) went out. Due to the lack of radio, they did not get the order to retreat. Because of this, at one point his unit was some number of mile behind the German Lines. After the war he brought this, along with a German gas mask, a canteen, a few swords and pistols, and some other stuff to my father, who was his younger brother, as souvenirs. My father, Charles Vernon Watson, was also a colonel, but he was with the marines in the pacific, 1st and then a founder of the 4th division. in the artillery. When I was a kid my friends always wondered why my father WWII sword had a Swastika on it. I don’t know the particulars of how he acquired the helmet, but it would have been during the actual war as he came home when the war ended and war not one of those who stayed around a long time after the war. For most of the time since then it was in my parents and my home. (Around 1957, after the movie The Vikings came out with Kirk Douglas, it briefly became a Viking helmet as I invaded England every afternoon after school, although it was really to heavy for me to wear well).

WWII M16 Austrian SS-VT Helmet
[Item: H85]
For sale is an excellent example of an Allgemeine-SS transitional helmet, circa 1935. This helmet is one of an evident batch of these which were contracted at the same time by the SS and outfitted in the same facility. They reflect the contract nature of SS acquisition at that time; parts liners, domed retaining rivets, assorted style chinstraps and thin quality satin black over field grey finishes. This shell is marked “EB”. This exact helmet is pictured in SS-Steel, pp 42-43. The decals are classic CA Pocher runic and party shields, showing a small amount of enamel retouch to the runes. Taken with the overall condition of this helmet, this retouch appears to be period done, as was often the case when helmets were being repeatedly polished and prepared for parade use, and decals would flake or diminish. The helmet bears the name “Huska” in the dome. A classic Allgemeine helmet in a known configuration. Price reflects the overall condition and rarity of this piece, and includes certificate of guarantee of authenticity.
