I have also just done the deal on a named Luftwaffe Camo M42, but I will leave that one until it arrives!

My contributions:
Austrian M17 helmet, I'm guessing Kriegsmarine reissued in WW2, then issued to the Danish Post-war













My first helmet, pretty clean and nice example:

Interesting.
I see what could be the "LokalForsvarsRegion" abbreviation, but have never heard about these helmets being issued in Denmark.
Any further info on this?
Very good looking helmet BTW These are so much more impressive than WWII lids IMO.

Thanks.
Must be a fluke/lone helmet or one of very few if brought to Denmark. Or they were in storage.
I have never seen it documented, that these were ever used by Danes in great numbers in that configuration.
German helmets have been used totally overpainted and as firemans helmets etc of course.
BTW in regards to the link; its LokalForsvarsREGION - not "regiment."
Directly translated "Local Defence Region."
Nice lid.

I am not sure about the use of German helmets by the Danes, I only know what I've heard/found. My bad on the translation. I'm guessing LRF is sort of like the Home Guard?/Civil defence?

Here is my only painted name, on the bathtub ET68

isn't it great to see a named helmet to a famous person? ......'Engelbrecht' ... that's Humperdinck isn't it?
