Repro German Helmet Cover

I received this reproduction WWII German reversable camo helmet cover in 90 or 91 when I was stationed in Germany. Does anyone have any information on it or know the approximate value? Or do I just have a neatly colored handkerchief?



Thank you in advance.

Those can go for somewhere between 20-30 I think based on the quality. Look around eBay for a bit there are a few of that nature and you can get a good estimate.

Bout 20 bucks Or you could give it to me for free teheheheheh

Didnt the SS covers come with the rocker clips to attach to the helmet and not a drwastring like the Army version?

I belive so, but remember it is a replica........

Still ive never seen even a repro SS one with the drawstring

Good point.

Well now you have. The early repros were often times made with the draw string. May still be some made, but I wouldn't think they would sell.

Probly not considering most reenactors reenact with a passion for accuracy.

(Btw what I ment by probly not is that it probly wouldnt sell)

Even repro WW2 helmet covers are made of 3 cloth panels. This one appears to have 6 and seems to be custom made for some type of helmet with M1 shape. France in the early times of Indochina war used german fabric to equip their reborn army so it wouldn't suprise me if this would be the case. Shirts/jackets and trousers are documented so could it be possible they made helmet covers!?




Best regards

French soldiers in SS camo....... Groovey

The French did indeed make helmet covers for their M51 OTAN helmets out of SS camo and with the string



This one is mine and it did come from France , i just need an M51 helmet

Thats awesome

Hi parafal

Nice to see that i wasn't so far from truth. Liked to see that photo. Now we know that were made helmet covers also

Yours is quite different in construction than the one tenewel shows. Interesting the stitch's on it. Are they vertical fooliage inserts or stitch's from loops in the fall side?

Best regards

Yes , there are loops on the Fall side , which is kinda weird.
