Re: fj helmet opinion
Wasn't it the post war GSG9 helmets the ones that had the separate rim added ?

Re: fj helmet opinion
so, what years were these produced? im 40 years old, i remember these items in the basement of my grandmothers house in the mid 1970's. so my guess would be it was well before then. were they made within 20 years of the end of the war? and how about the box? any info on that? though the patches on my grandfathers jacket seem to indicate pacific duty. im just trying to get a good idea of what it is, and what i should do with it. ie, put it on the curb in the trash, or hang onto them.
are you saying it is a gsg9 with decals added later? that would make more sense. and the added rim you speak of is the alum strip around the outer edge of the helmet. this one is spot welded on, which is suspect to me. this helmet seems to have the traditional style liner. not like the one in the attached link. were they interchangable?
thanks for the great info!

Re: fj helmet opinion
"The basic story i was told was my grandfather was involved in some kind of securing of a "field office" and took these things. "
Saw a pic of an alleged veteran who was interviewed by a US local paper and he was holding up what was clearly a fake SS helmet.
Had a veterans son get upset showing me his fantasy SS armband his dad apparently brought back from WW2 but was made in the 60s.
Too bad the veteran story gets abused as it makes the real stories tarnished.
