Helmet and other items purchased less than 15 minutes ago....fresh from an attic.

[JERSEY 34]

This must be my quickest post ever on a group of items I have purchased. I had just arrived home and a chap I know turned up as I was getting out of my jeep. I managed to purchase the items you see in the pictures, I am especially pleased with the helmet. There were a lot of transitional helmets used here during the German Occupation of the Island especially amongst the men of MG.Batallion 16. I am just going to leave this helmet as is, its going to stay covered with cobwebs and be displayed as it...it adds a little something. Bye the way the chicken was not part of the lot, she just likes having her picture taken. Its been a while since I have seen a British water bottle or a WW.1 Mills grenade, niether of these are my sort of thing and will be passed onto any interested party. A nice little lot even if I say so myself.
All the best from Jersey,
D.

Is the helmet that rusty or just totally covered in dust?

[JERSEY 34]

Hi,
Its obviously totally covered in dust but also has areas of very light surface rust....which I am sure with a light oil would fade away to show the original colour of the helmet. A light clean would make it look fantastic I know but its a untouched helmet, and I have enough helmets to leave this one as it is.......... temptation may get the better of me one day and I could end up cleaning it but for now its fine as it is.

Definitely a great helmet. The other items are nice, too. And I like the chicken as well!

[MD Helmets]

Is that a British or German chicken? She looks good for 70 years old.

I was expecting more patina but I guess it's been kept in a good kitchen somewhere
