seller screwed up on customs forms by stating it was made in usa and it became subject to duty, i got accused of extortion and so on - ugly story but it is in the past now... :-)

yes, it looks good indeed. i started doing some research on the use of the helmet by West Germany and it is really interesting - some good info is on WAF BW section.

I have questions for the experts - BW FJ were the original users of this helmet (i know it was limited / test usage only) and it was then issued to GSG followed by KSK.
Where was it first issued ? I know it was in use till mid-1990s.
Any info on numbers made, producers and issued unit is appreciated.
Thanks.
