Re: Heer 2nd Pattern Pith Helmet

Yes, they are. However, they are not very good. They typically come with a horrible set of desert goggles. Both are clearly reproductions, however, they are sold as such...at least from proprietors..unscrupulous sellers??- who knows. That said, nobody should get burned by them though. Easy to pick out of a crowd.
I will say though, I have yet to see a repro 2nd pattern. Hmmm, maybe that's an untapped market to break into
I have seen a 1941 dated 2nd pattern, but I'm sorry I did not save the images. On p365 of Ken N's Germany's combat helmets it says that 'original examples are seen dated as early as 1941'.
Also its the 2nd pattern that I see as a repro on ebay.

I have posted it for the same reason on another forum.

And what do they write about the pictures on the other forum?

Hi, the Italy pic is mostly accepted as showing a 2nd pattern, though not all agree. No one has ever seen a 2nd pattern in a pic from Afrika.
