Re: Kriegsmarine or Heer Helmet??

Hi,
I read the "Wehrmacht Combat Helmets 1933-45" book from Osprey Publishing and i have a question about one helmet i've seen for sale:
Is this one a Heer or Kriegsmarine Helmet??
The eagle has a yellow tone because its a german navy helmet or because of its age???
Not a KM. Jim G.

Re: Kriegsmarine or Heer Helmet??
I agree with Jim, it is a toned Heer decal.
Cheers, Ade.

Now that i saw the post of Atle M i could see the difference from a Kriegsmarine.
Thanks.

Good test is to hold up on an angle to a bright light and see if there are gold flecks or foil reflecting back. Also check to see if gold color is uniform over decal. Most, but not all, Heer decals show an uneven color if yellowing is caused by age.KM eagles appear GOLD and not yellow. This is immediately noticable when compared side by side.

The decal is not correct , with better photos it is easier to tell.
