Here is my one piece gladiator helmet, I would just like some info on it, especially on the decal in the front.
Here is my one piece gladiator helmet, I would just like some info on it, especially on the decal in the front.
Theres not much to add, one piece with cloth liner and possibly period plastic chinstrap, ive never seen that type of decal or soldier art before although it reminds me of the all seeing eye motif, i would remove that white plastic cord though
Chin strap is right
Bikie Art?
Maybe the owner was the "all seeing eye" of his Luftschutz unit.A bit like Radar O'Reilly on M.A.S.H.
Applied his own motiff to symbolise this?
Never seen it before.
Cheers fella's
Same here,welcome to the forum mate.
Welcome aboard...IMO the eye is post war, I like the chin strap...late war
To me the eye and the addition of the platic chord to tie the liner together suggests someone did this to wear it......possibly a Bikie.
Some cool info here guys, thanks for all the info and also thank you for the welcoming me. That plastic cord you see in the helmet is a chin strap, I'm just not sure what it would connect to, I'm probably missing that piece.
