Attachment 189550 Attachment 189551 Attachment 189552 Attachment 189554I got this helmet with some other stuff, it just doesn't look right? The liner is center hung, 64 in back for the size, no other markings, been field brush painted with a ss decal? Its been most likely in some military as there is some intials and a faint name. Enlighten me oh wise ones?? Mike Griffis

Yep definitely post war border guard helmet. These were made after the war, the centre hung liner is a dead give away as well the lack of the 3 pins around the helmet that would have held the war time liner.

A lot of these get used as movie props. The film " Stalingrad " has one of the main characters, who is on screen a he'll of a lot wearing one of these...
