Fantastic James, I too have been on the look out for one of these models for many years, glad you were on the receiving end of some ultimate generosity here buddy, looks great
thanks gary i should make it clear i did pay for this but as it was offered my way i couldn't resist ,this member was spot on with what he had so knows his headgear very well ,i hope you find an example soon mate ,our friend mannie has one of these too and im sure he wont mind me posting a link Mannie Gentile: Combat Helmets of the 20th Century: Bundeswehr Tanker's Helmet: Cold War era
Hi James, I assumed it was a trade, either way great piece and not easy to source, so congrats again buddy...Mannie had completely slipped my mind as a resource for researching helmets, his website and pictures are excellent, he has a very "interesting" sense of humour too which is always a pleasure to read
your right there mate ,he does inject a bit of humour into the headgear collecting world
