Named Luftwaffe DD

[Politefaun]

I Hope everyone's Christmas eve is going well, for me Christmas came early as this was surprising able to make its way to my door on the 23rd. It's a size 64 manufactured by Quist and as the title says is a named double decal Luftwaffe helmet. The paint appears tinted green in the photos due to the patina but in better lighting you can still see the feldblau color. There's some post war scuffing but nothing too bad. I really like the way the eagle has crazed and yellowed, same with the national decal. The chinstrap is missing the end piece which is only thing missing from the helmet. I'm really happy about finally getting an "early war" helmet as they're one of my favorites from the era.

AndyM35 I’m going to try and do that tomorrow. When I took the pictures it was unfortunately dim and overcast outside.

Not a bad Christmas present - the eagle is nice, but so is the national shield.
