Hey guys - this summer I got 3 very nice relic helmets from this seller, who gets them from a friend of his, living in Poland - see these pics (I posted them before here):



Now he got a few more - so I'll be getting this one next it seems, in a couple weeks:

some update:

I didn't get the helmet shown in my last post (was sold before I got to it) - but I did get this one from the same seller (a bit saltier).
He told me that there are some blood-stains inside - and I think he might be right...
Looks like the poor owner of this got maybe a bullet or sharpnel on the top, but only dented the helmet and made a small crack downwards.
Markings are lost - only see a number "4" where the lot number should be. The decal looks sort of like my other "Q" helmet in this thread (small bird head), so maybe this one could a "Q" as well(?).
Btw., the helmet size is 64.
The seller might also has the alu liner band for this - 'will see if I can get it (probably took out the pins and sold it or used it for one of his helmets, who knows...I can get some salty pins from Russian relic sites if I do get it eventually.)



...and took some close-up shots of the blood stains - they are all around where the alu liner band used to be:



finally - the number "4" can be seen (if one looks real hard) here:



cheers,
Fabe
