I took a gamble, SS Relic helmet
Hi guys
Yesterday I bought a few German steel helmets. I also took a gamble on what I see as a good deal.
This guy has been to Latvia some times and stumbled over this ground dig SS helmet.
Whether or not it's an original or not I think it's quite cool looking
What do you guys think?
Nobody got any opinion on this?
i agree its quite a cool looking piece ,im struggling to understand how decal's can be sustained considering the overall condition of these ground dug relics but yours seems to contradict this showing plenty of the decal
It's gen.

looks a good one.
Thought the same James, I don't know how the decals can be still intact.
Ned and Harry thanks!
I did a gamble, paying 21€ for it I think I did good
Enjoy it while you can as rusty stuff will continue to flake away.
That crown is more rust than steel but for 21 euros you didn't spend a lot.

I had to take a picture including my SS Dagger with my newly purchased SS helmet.
Enjoy
Hi, looks like you have found a good one to me, just needs to be kept in a zero humidity environment otherwise it will end up as dust pretty quickly. Leon.
Used to find these in the forest and they would almost fall apart when handled but it is a good one . As for the decal it is not uncommon for the decal to actually survive beter than the steel !!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
