Re: SS Hilfskrankenträger Helmet - Authentic? Value?
Well... this helmet certainly has A LOT going on... I have absolutely no idea if it is real or not, but I am subscribing to this thread to enjoy the show. I am making a bowl of popcorn as we speak...!
My gut feeling is telling me that this helmet is fake... it's just too good to be true. IF this helmet is real, it'll be a real diamond... SS, snow camo, medic...
Can you post the maker, size, and lot # stampings? They are located on the inside of the helmet on the rear skirt (by the B in Huber), and above the left ear where the chinstrap attaches.
Also, could you type out what you think the stamps on the interior and exterior of the helmet say and the words stenciled around the circumference of the helmet?

Re: SS Hilfskrankenträger Helmet - Authentic? Value?
Hi Jonas and welcome to the forum,
Can u take straight shots in macro mode of the SS decal? I barely can make out what's going on. It is critical that u do if you want a positive evaluation, thanks
Regards

Welcome to the forum; as SSamir has said we need a straight shot on that decal and more photos.

Nice to see my first post could spark such interest.

Yeah, that's my feeling too. But I'm obviously hoping someone will prove us both wrong.

They are quite hard to make out, I'll upload a photo. I think the maker and size is a "Q" and then at least a "6".
The lot # appears to be "2432".

The round stamp below the decal says something like this:
"II *
Eigentu*
<runes> .3
Kw."
(The "*" means I can't make out what it says...)
Slanted at the bottom right is perhaps "Zug"?
The stenciled text around the helmet is just "hilfskrankenträger" repeated. Same with the stamp on the inside (next to "Huber").
The dome stamp is pretty much impossible to read, perhaps with a better light and a magnifying glass. Will try to find that.

Added a couple of macro shots, hopefully they are more useful. If not, let me know and I will make another attempt.
Thanks again!

Oh, and inside of leather liner is stamped "B 60" if that helps at all.

Q is for the helmet manufacturer Quist. Can you post a picture of that stamp? The trend tends to be the larger the size, the more desirable...

I assume you mean the liner stamp?
