German Tropenhelm

[Datrus]

Hello again gents,

I have found another pith helmet. Any opinions on this on and the dealer will be much appreciated. A Salty WWII German Army Tropical Pith Helmet

Thank you for you time

Original 2nd pattern with some condition issues. Hard to tell from the pics if the shields are original.

Thanks a lot Bond. I will request close ups of the shields. Do you know the dealer?

Regards, Lars

Well theres something not right, the chinstrap is on the rear portion which puts the insignia on the wrong side of the helmet, there is a front and back to these pith helmets, the longer portion of visor goes to the rear
Correction, chinstrap threw me off, insignia appears to be on correct sides, although theres not much detail to go by

Thanks again Dave. I have requested pics of the shields. If they are ok i guess i could just change them around?

I would look for another which is not crushed at the top, most of the pit hats online have the flat top because they have been stacked or simply crushed in there life. Have a shop around there are better ones around.
