Recent find as it was cheap, a Luftschutz helm marked -RL2-39/25 Eisenhüttenwerk Thale, Harz?

Nothing wrong with these lids at the right price, got a gladiator myself recently! Well done. Leon.

Nice lid....I've not seen a late one with a leather strap before....mine has the hyper-cheap plastic one. These Home Front helmets probably display the effects of the conflict on raw material resources more than any other item. They start blue, transfers, pigskin leather etc and end up black, cork, canvas, plastic.....

Thanks guys. Yes this one has the stippled leather Kinnriemen that we are all familiar with. The buckle is a little rusty, due to bad storage I expect. It doesn't look as though there was ever any decal on this one either, but the paintwork is good and a price that was a steal.
