DRK Helmet to the Collection

[Mediumtall]

-- Here's the other piece of two I had on layaway (DRK Leader's Dagger being the other) and recently payed my bill and brought it home. This is a size 55 and seems to be in very good condition. It's my understanding that these helmets are considered rather rare? Not sure if anyone here can elaborate?

Very nice helmet, yes these are harder to find.
You can see some others on my website.

-- Thanks for the reply. I've added your site to my bookmarks. It looks like there's some excellent material to study Schwerpunkt!

-- I must admit the extremely long chin strap seems a little odd, no? Perhaps it folded around nicer when it was more malleable and new?

Yours is as it came from the factory , the helmet was probably never used. If you look at mine also a size 55 it has only 3 holes anymore, they cut off the rest.

Very nice. If Frank & Jim okay this helmet, you have a "winner". I am unsure of these decals, but those two guys know.
Maybe you can post the decal in the "Helmet decal" subforum for reference.
