old africorps helmet fresh estate find ! Neat
Hello all
Just got this africorps helmet from a friend who's grandfather was a MP in africa. Supposedly his relative took it off the remains of a soilder as they were part of afee math situation . It has the original liner band and I guess that gold paint looks period ?
Better close up photos are needed to be able to discuss the Helmet properly !

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
