Heimwehr Danzig helmet

[DougB]

Did you include this one into your collection Doug?

Yes the owner of the helmet sadly passed away from a hard batte with cancer, he was a friend. I have bought it from his estate and it will be something to remember him by as well as being maybe the rarest "SS" helmet.

Condolences on the loss of your friend Doug, but i"m sure he would be pleased to know it now has the finest home in which to reside, and my Heartiest congratulations! truly a "one off" and i couldn't think of a more deserving owner.

Best Regards

Phill.

Im sorry to hear another one has passed away from this illness. I sent his web page several request for buying some caps, but i never recieved an answer.

A sad memento of a friend Doug but you have one of the rarest lids on the planet to remind you of that friendship !!

What a superb result but alas tinged with the loss of a friend, but the helmet will always be a sincere and valued memento of a friendship and the knowledge that another true officianado of the collecting world remains its custodian , my condolences to you Doug but also my appreciation for saving this true beauty of a rarity, possibly the first and last one we'll ever see

Great thread. Ultra Rae SS lid. Sad that the fine man passed. I'm glad it went to you, Doug. You own the best collection of helmets I've ever seen, and I show your wall o helmets to all my friends, they say woah! Thanks for sharing.

Could say I'm a touch late to this thread Was a great read through the 14 pages and overjoyed that it was finally proven to be a good one and is now in a good home.

It's a shame DougB took all of his pictures down when he left as it's removed some incredibly important points of reference, especially in this thread, for a helmet most of us will never see in person, and one that only a select few will ever own. Regardless, I'm glad it is at least in a collection that will look after it, and I hope whenever it moves next it is under less saddening circumstances, rest in peace to your friend Doug

Im not sure we know where the helmet now resides as I believe Doug disposed of all his helmets.
