One Piece Luftschutz Gladiator DD SA - Reverse Decal - Blue!

[helmet2id]

Here is one you don’t frequently encounter! It just arrived yesterday. It is a one piece Luftschutz Gladiator shell with standard SA decals - but reversed! It has the typical late War rough cut cloth liner (with a name written on one of the tongues, but I can’t read it) and the expected clear plastic chin strap. It also retains the factory applied dark blue paint, something that you rarely see! The paint suffers from poor storage, but the decals are still in excellent condition, and I do love reverse decal helmets! Hope you like it. Jim G.

These SA helmets came in a variety of colors, with the decals in both the standard (Adler on the left and SA runes on the right) and reverse (Adler on the right and SA runes on the left) configuration. Here are my 3, a green example, a blue example, and a light SA brown example. Jim G.
