Stabswache Röhm helmet
Hello guys.
Two days ago i visited one of the local scrapyards and saw this helmet lying around. As this is not my collection field, I didn't recognise it for what it is. I just saw the remnants of what I thought to be a SA decal and bought the thing.
Back home the decal struck me as odd, because it was so large. A google search for "SA helmet" and "SA helmet early version" turned up nothing, but with the addition of the search term "large decal" i found pics of the same type of helmet. On this particular forum, to be precise! I had never heard of the Stabswache Röhm before, let alone of special helmet insignia for this unit. Proof of the expertise gathered in this forum.
The scrapyard guy told me he had two helmets, but already sold one... I 'm not sure if the other one was also a Stabswache Röhm helmet, or whatever other type of helmet. Anyway, I'm glad I found this gem. I'll let the pictures speak.

Anyway, this turned out to be one of the better finds in the scrapyard. The only stuff found there so far where good, but definitely less spectacular: Some bayonets in various conditions, the occasional jerrycan, some ammunition boxes and a couple of messtins. But visiting it regularly is obviously worthwile!

Thanks for the reply, Mametz! I hope it is real too. Eager to hear from other members. But if it turns out to be fake, luckily it will be far from a financial ruin, the thing cost next to nothing.

I think it's a good one but I'm not an expert in these ,not many are. Jim has one or two of these with good decals. He will make the call.

1000% correct! Very few exist, but this one is a one second one look original from across the street. Jim G.
