Don't worry Ostland most of our main helmet experts are away from the forum for various reasons at the moment i'm sure when they return the discussions will start

It's a very interesting helmet the price is difficult to gauge what does your friend want for it ??

Never saw a real one posted in any of the forums and I am a very active participator in a lot of forums.

The first question to answer is if it is original ?
Was the digging of the helmet documented , did your friend find it or was it bought from another source ?

Unfortunately there's money in enhancing dug items too. Let me say I'm very suspicious. Can you post a close-up if the other decal as well ?

to Schwerpunkt:-back then when it was found nobody had no such idea about dokumentation.nobody didn,t care about expertize-just because it,s real:there is nothing to proof. i,m sure you newer seen before such helemet on other forums,and i think moust of our forum members also newer seen this...!i have seen some pics in german ww2 newspaper long time ago,but cat,n remember wich one.but no mather.helmet is more than real.i cant post more decal pics because of distance.maybe next week i,ll try to make some more pics.for me is interesting price and real buyer-colector who are interesting for this helmet- wich is 100 times occasional eny ss helmet.

Thanks for your reply , still not clear who actually found this helmet ? Your friend ?
Or was it bought as a Polish dig find. Provenance is rather important with a helmet such as this , these rare ones are heavily faked. And this would be an exceptionally rare helmet if original.

I don't own the Bear book but I'm sure he has something in there about Danzig helmets.

Wow wow wow! Extremelly rare one!!!
I think it's more than scarce helmet, there none can add the helmet like that anywhere. That one probably came in 1941 with Totenkopf...
Congrats to happy Maris!
