Original German WWII / WWI Transitional Austrian DD Heer Helmet
Up for sale is a true combat veteran! This originally started life out as an Austrian WWI helmet, and then re-issued to the German Wehrmacht in the mid 1930s. After its transition it was applied with both a Heer Decal and National Shield. As per orders in 1940 the helmet was then painted with an applied camo and re-issued yet another Heer decal. After this it was used until its capture. Whats even more interesting about this helmet is the fact that the inside was not retrofitted with the appropriate liner and still retains the m16 style liner band with updated WWII liner pins. This is a very interesting piece!
To note: The national shield decal was “liberated” post war. This means that it was originally covered by the applied camo – although someone cleaned the applied camo to expose the national shield.
