Reading this book about the so called penal batallion and saw these lids all piled up. Does anyone know of any of these helmets from this batallion are still around today?

Many a fake SS FJ helmet out there. All of their helmets were no decals if I recall.
I have seen a few pics of them wearing single decal Lufwaffe lids. But like Doug says no helmets with runic decals.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
I would agree,no ss decal on a fallschirmjager helmet.
