Re: Helmet Pics!
IS there any paint scraping around the missing rivets? Would like to see outdoor pics in overcast of the helmet if possible. The finish does not look factory applied as Dimas has said but perhaps a textured camo field applied. I have an SS helmet in woodchip done this way, and painted a shade of feldgrau. PS love the cases, great creative way to display the helmet in a dust free environment.
I had my helmets in Detolfs, 2 per shelf, one on a stand and one on the glass shelf. Looked great but was a pain in the arse to handle the helmets so I built my "wall". Must dust once a month but it gives me an excuse to handle the helmets and my wife cannot believe I am dusting.....

Re: Helmet Pics!
The first helmet is always special isnt it! I agree and my first helmet I go to my deathbed with. As for this one whats with that patch of red rust in the back and is that paint overtop oxidization there as well?

Re: Helmet Pics!
Hi Doug, in hand it appears that the rust has come from underneath the paint. It is a little hard to see in the photos but it's smooth and dark. This rust is also showing through on the bottom skirt where it sits. I'm not sure what to make of it? Any thoughts?
And yes, my first helmet will be with me till the end I believe!
Thanks!

Re: Helmet Pics!
OK more than likely then a field or depot reissued helmet.

Re: Helmet Pics!
I like the texture finish myself. Think it looks quite good.
Good to see more Aussies! I am in perth. I also I like your display case idea. Where did your source the lid from, if you dont mind me asking.

Hi VolksJager,
Thanks for the compliment on the display case! No problems at all, I sourced the lid in this thread from collectortocollectormilitaria.com
I really recommend this site as Bob is a really nice guy and very easy to deal with.
Cheers mate,
