Looking for the photo albums of Leutnant Emil Freitag, 3. / G.R. 377
THanks Phil, the nice thing about this hobby is that it is really all there in front of us. For those willing to invest the time into study and sharing knowledge your on the path to a great hobby experience. For those that want "fast food" collecting you need deep pockets and a lot of time because it will be wasted chasing ghosts.
Frank is the other Admin over there. Its an enjoyable and well run forum like this one only we are more focused on the study of the German helmet but we have other areas of interest as well.
Did you join under the same handle donkihotis7?
Cheers
Doug

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
Here's the close-up as promised:
Thanks, Doug! If you have no problem with it then I shall go ahead and make this one my first SS! I am excited about displaying this with my death card for the man who died at Kokkosalmi. It was found in a trench at a riverbank about 10 km away from there.
Anyone know the expected time a package from Russia should take? haha
By the way, I asked about the lot number and factory stamp. I think he forgot that I asked. It looks enough like an ET to me but I will try to figure it out when I get it.
In many cases there are no readable factory stamps and numbers inside of the helmet at all. Post from Russia to USA may take several weeks and it may also take 1-2 months. I belive this helmet is cleaned with oxalic acid and is original but it is a little bit weird that the top of it is so rusty. If You want, You can clean it more but You ave to cover decal first.
