Normandy in the 70'S

Old thread but great helmets nonetheless! Looks like the first two may have had some overpaint removed?

The first one is from the 12°SS (fromCaen), there is a marking in the leather. The second lost one insignia...But I like it very much, coming from Argentan.
I have anoter from the HJ. I never show it because of the special marking

Argentan is a good area to find good stuff.
I found some nice items there.

For the last, i was every day in the same farm asking militaria. One day, the farmer told me : come tomarrow at 1 pm. I was at 1 pm at the entry and there was the helmet on the pillar of the door.
I took it and never come back to this farm. But many peoples came after, I suppose.
