And I think this settles it...... a "commemoration helmet " from the late 1940's is a very plausible answer done 'before endeavours fade'.by geelong
Thankyou Krakow1

Dear BlackCat,
To learn about special expressions: May I ask you what's the meaning of a 'coal scuttle magpie" please?

In memory of my father who was in K-Einsatz, combat engagement, with the RAD in the Alps in 1945, of my grandfather who was with the IR 87 during campaign in France in 1940 and of my grand-uncle who served in the Gardegrenadierregiment Nr. 3 "Königin Elisabeth" and who was killed in action at Craonne, Chemin des Dames in France in 1917

sorry Krakow1 .. i was hopping that the link worked to that thread. as i found it interesting. and that any member that was interested would have read the hole thread.
Humility is a virtue, pride is a deadly sin. What website or dealer might I take a gander at a $5000 Warsaw Uprising helmet ? I am quite interested....would like to learn being a helmet collector. Any idea Krakow1 where I can see one at said price ? Or any price ?
Thanks, David
Yeah Geelong....you forgot to give proper credit...Shame on you. (LOL)
Ya know...I wrote a long winded response (because that is the only way I know how). Would have been post #5 but then deleted it... because guess why? I realized I had no idea what I was talking about...LoL
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

A "coal scuttle" is a nickname for a German helmet ( both wars ) because they look like a coal scoop and a magpie is a bird that collects odd things for its nesting materials......

This could look like original paint to me.
