US WWII M1 Swivel Bale Helmet, Liner & Net, Complete
(3 photos)
$350.00
|
 Original era manufacture. Nice original complete example, swivel bale, seamed in front steel helmet with original sewn dark OD canvas chinstraps. The Capac Mfg plastic liner shows a factory OD paint job and stenciled Captains bars on the front. Complete light OD canvas suspension, non-adjustable nape strap, original leather sweatband and leather chinstrap which has snapped in two. The net in our opinion is original to the helmet as it has faded to an even orange/brown color but where it tucks up into the steel pot it is a darked grayish/OD color. This is an untouched, origianl helmet with a wonderful out-of-the-footlocker look to it.

German WWII Fire Police Helmet & Neck Flap, Vet Bringback
(6 photos)
$395.00
|
 Original era manufacture. We recently purchased a small grouping of WWII German souvenirs sent home from Europe by a soldier who served as a US 3rd Army Jeep driver. The lucky recipient was his younger brother who cherished them and stored them away for many years before selling them to us. Standard model, steel Fire Police helmet with a complete liner and strap. Nice Police & Party decals on the sides of the helmet, and attached to the rear of the liner the seldom seen removable neck protector. There is no damage beyond normal use to report, other than a period wire repair to the chinstrap. Sound, unmolested original helmet.

Soviet WWII M1936 Helmet Shell
(5 photos)
$195.00
|
 Original era manufacture. A good restoration candidate is this M1936 shell which retains nearly all of its period olive paint. No liner or strap, just a shell. At some point in time the front was punched for an emblem of some sort. Russia supplied these helmets to the Spaniards during their Civil War in the 1930's, perhaps it was done then. In any case it's a difficult pattern helmet to find today.

A partial chinstrap remains which is missing its connecting buckle. One of the more scarce patterns of the WWII German helmets.

German WWII Rural Police Officer Shako
(5 photos)
$1295.00
|
 Original era manufacture. Deluxe, private purchase shako made by D.R.BIERTEIS SOHNE FURTH, and showing the silk drape similar to Imperial Pickelhauben inside the lining. The shako displays an embellished eagle featuring more detail than found on the enlisted models. Proper aluminum officers chinscales with a bullion wire fieldbadge instead of the stamped aluminum enlisted model. The body is covered in a Police green wool and is in very good repair, showing only a tiny bit of mothing on the rear upper body. The top, front and rear visors, are brown in color for the rural Police of the era. The rear visor is bound in leather, another feature of an officer quality helmet. It shows some scuffing from age but is not broken or frayed. A difficult piece of headgear to find, especially in the Rural Police pattern.

US WWII Paratrooper M2 Helmet & Liner with Net, Recreation
(5 photos)
$175.00
|
 Original era manufacture. This is a high quality recreation using an original WWII front seam steel helmet and original Westinghouse mfg plastic liner. The original chinstrap bales were removed and replaced with the early style D shaped suspension loops. During WWII the D shaped loops were soon replaced due to their tendancy to break in use. In addition to this modification, new canvas webbing was installed in the form of Airborne pattern chinstraps. Overall the helmet is a wonderful display item with the look of an original at a fraction of the cost. Shows light wear and use.

French Ca 1848 Garde Nationale Officers Shako & Storage Box
(10 photos)
$875.00
|
 Original era manufacture. Handsome and complete example of a National Guard officers shako prior to the reign of Napoleon III. Cardboard body covered in short black fur with silver brocade trim on the crown. A pressed tin tri-color rosette provides the base for the wool pompom with a silver washed, copper shako plate below. Original, leather backed, metal chinscales with bursting bomb side buttons. A painted pressed leather visor with an intact leather liner. One of the most interesting features of this shako is the top to an original storage box which is included with it. Perhaps a bottom portion was part of the box at some point but the top serves its purpose of protecting the shako body quite well. Great looking piece of vintage, mid-19th century headgear.

 Original era manufacture. A fairly straight example which has never been repainted, still retains its factory apple green finish. Strong tricolor decal and a weak Heer decal, usually the other way round. The original aluminum liner band and rivets with washers remain. Painted onto the neck skirt is the original owners name with some scattered, period acquired dust and mud inside the crown. A great looking old helmet, ready for restoration or leave as is for display.

German WWII M1940 Steel Helmet, Czech Reissue, Q64
(3 photos)
$275.00
|
 Original era manufacture. Standard M1940 pattern helmet maker marked and sized Q64 in the neckskirt. Original helmet liner band, rivets and slot washers in place. The paint surface displays at least two shades of battleship gray paint and scattered areas of wear and scratches to the helmets surface. When you look close you can see traces of a black undercoat which often indicates a Czech reissue. Whoever applied this paint job did it a long time ago as dark steel patina shows beneath the paint surface. Good quality replica leather chinstrap, the liner leather is very supple but is a Czech replacement, however the liner band is clearly dated 1943. A WWII German helmet which saw legitimate postwar use with another country.
