[Bavarian]

Hello
Last Weekend im found this cool helmets the SSH-40 in a Shelter and the SSH-39 under the earth
The SSH-40 seems to be used as Tool and sweated on a stock
The SSH-39 seems to be a relict of the ending of the WW2 on the Eastern front, because the helmet like swiss Cheese
I think it fight against a MG
Both cant be Fakes
I Need your opinions
Regards

Such helmets usually are the real deal yes. It happened a lot that helmets were used as a poop-scoop postwar. Me personally wouldn't want such rusty relics in my collection unless I would find them myself while metal detecting. I wouldn't spend money on a helmet like this.....but that is just a personal opinion.

You can't beat finding relics yourself. A pity about the condition but after 70 plus years under the soil one can not expect miracles. Nice finds.
