Hi guys, I came across this huge German helmet while surfing the internet.
I really don't want to fight the original owner during those days... lol.
But, would be a great lid for Doug's shelf! :-)

I'm wondering how big the rest was from his tunic and equipement!

Yup he'd be a big bloke!....

That is Ron R's dog house.

That would be an awesome Man Cave to house your helmet collection. The decal could be the door. Could really make this work.

I love that, there are some more pictures of it on display in a park somewhere.

WOW... ginormous lid! What's the story?

**KRISSE** · 03-20-2013, 09:17 PM

Dunno mate. Can't find the website anymore... :-(

Found this about the helmet/artwork:

"An artist’s rendering of a giant Nazi-era German Army helmet is transported by truck through Le Marais, Paris' mainly Jewish quarter. The helmet, which created a stir in the neighbourhood when it was first put on display in the gallery’s courtyard a year ago, was transferred to a storage place in the Paris suburbs. The helmet was made in Bulgaria by 32-year-old Italian artist Marco Boggio Sella. — Reuters"
