Good question, I have read in reference books that even it was designed to fit inside and be worn with the M51 shell on top, I do not believe this was common practise. Equally I have read in said books these were worn by FFL as standalone helmets.Gulf91 wrote:One thing I was wondering was it worn as a stand alone helmet or was the M51 worn on top of it for added protection?
Dont collect SS items but am interested in what way the decal is wrong Gary?Easy Gee wrote:Interesting German helmets Gulf, sadly most of the pictures are missing ( forum glitch !) but the "Green" coloured helmet has what appears to be remnants of a stud, which makes me think it was originally a West German border guard piece?
The SS badge is not right, but frustratingly I cannot comment further as again most of the pictures are not present ( forum glitch again)
I do not seem to be able to attach a smiley or whatever to the end of my text...very frustrating for us both !!!!
What's the story behind them, film props or similar ?

Many Thanks
