    A lot number match is no guarantee it used to be SS.
    One lot number can be SS, Heer , LW etc....
    As a post war used fire brigade helmet it is collectible as it is , would be a pity to ruin it.

    Agree with Frank. It is a pristine post war used helmet. Except for the shell, no parts are WW2 era. So stripping it back would not achieve anything.
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    ...but why? As stated above, it's a beautiful example and perfect for a display showing the evolution of German helmets. Stripping the paint off and faking a new look would be a real shame.

    I agree, this is not the right candidate lid for a refurb project.
    It's a complete post war Czech fire fighters helmet, best to leave alone.

    And what you think about the price? I paid 38 €. What is real value for this helmet in this condition?
