An early Luftwaffe "Crash Crew" helmet with the very rare "gold Leaf" prototype Adler decal. The white stripe is correct on this helmet, which was originally a "double decal." You have included pictures of the remnants of the tri color on the right. There are a few threads on this forum regarding these helmets. It is a nice one, and 100% original and correct. Congrats!

Thanks Jim it was dark in the building when I bought it didn't even see the tri shield untill I got it home . Gary
Nice find congrats.

I agree. it would have originally had a comb and neck flap. I like the chin strap.
thanks guys and I thought it was just a fire helmet
I just noticed the jury rigged right rear liner attachment. It should be fairly easy to find an original split pin to fix it. I really like these helmets and buy them whenever I see them. I have 4 with the "gold leaf" Adler, and Chris has one as well. Jim G.

Jim I'm almost sheepish to ask what do they go for . I bought it from a friend and I want to know if I owe them more money. Gary
My father has a few of these I never really thought much of them, I did not think they were this rare. I would also be interested in knowing what one of these would be worth
A great helmet even in this condition. I have only ever seen them on the forum and in pictures.
