    Default SSH 36 Captured/Reissued Luftschutz helmet

    I think the captured/reissued helmets are fascinating, and when I can I will pick them up. I have a complete SSH39 Luftschutz, and about 10 years ago was lucky enough to find this one, which retains its original factory green paint and web chinstrap with green buckle. Unfortunately, the liner is gone and it has been de-nazified with the obliteration of the hakenkreuz, but it is still in my mind an attractive and representative piece that I wanted to share with the forum. When I dig the SSH39 out I will post that one as well. Anyway, here it is, I hope you like it. Jim G.

    Nice, a rare one in normal configuration, this is the first LS of the type I have seen
    If anyone would like a custom piece of artwork for your war room please let me know! I am currently doing A2 sized sketches of a subject of your choice. Either copy an existing picture or create a scene based on your brief. Details in the 'other militaria' section of the classifieds.

    I also have a deac Mk1 (1941) Enfield Bren gun & Transit case for sale, mint condition. Also looking for trade offers. UK only I'm afraid.

    A very rare helmet indeed. You should add this one to the Luftschutz thread. I believe Dimas has a nice example of one of these as well. Check out this link: SSch-36 Luftschutz re-issued

    Now that is one rare lid. I agree with the fascination of captured lids in the LS, the types and styles used. To find an Ssh36 is awesome.

    Thanks for showing

    A shame about the missing liner and denazified decal. Still a great looking lid. Can't say I've ever seen one before.
    Looking for:

    1) A court mounted EKII
    2) M42 of no collector value, bare steel if possible. Liner and liner bands not needed.
