Re: Used by Kriegsmarine or Heer?
It appears to be army.
Nice helmet.

I thought about that too, but I thought that coastal artillery units were all part of the Kriegsmarine.

That's incorrect. Check out Hitler's Atlantic wall by Anthony Saunders.

Re: Used by Kriegsmarine or Heer?
So there were Heer CA units? I suppose that would be a good explanation for this helmet.

Re: Used by Kriegsmarine or Heer?
Coastal artillery are part of the navy. They wore Navy style fieldgrey uniforms.
I am more than sure it is army with toned laquer over the decal.
The gold decal is instantly recognizable compared to an army with tone laquer over it. No guessing needed. Hope this helps you.

Re: Used by Kriegsmarine or Heer?
I am not concerned about the decal, it is obviously a Heer one. I am just trying to figure out why a Heer helmet would have this paint scheme, that's all.
Heer coastal artillery sounds like the most likely choice at this point.

Could be that the quartermaster made a mistake and gave a KM soldier a helmet with a Heer decal. I would assume when in need of helmets during an all out war the color of the eagle mattered little.
