Re: So, who had the worst first helmet?
My first helmet was not bad i was just disapointed. back in the late 70s a workmate said he had a real German helmet and he wanted £10 for it, i was feeling pretty let down when he delivered a pretty rusty but solid M1917 (i was expecting an M35,40,42). I gave the thing a quick coat of satin black and hand painted a white swastika on the front not realising i'd destroyed any value.
The helmet stayed with me for about 25 years and was looking very tatty, but it made a good ornament. At a party i had one of my friends brought her new boyfriend along who was studying god knows what at god knows where university, he spotted the helmet and began spouting off about "it's got to be Freikorps", he offered me £250 and i snatched his hand off!...

Re: So, who had the worst first helmet?
So your saying there's a dodgy "Friekorps" helmet out there somewhere that some poor bugger may have bought from him thinking it's real???

I hope nobody fell for it, from what i remember it was sprayed with satin black motorbike engine paint and the swastika was Humbrol matt white!...
