Re: Three DD M34 Luftwaffe Crash Crew Helmets - Early Gold Leaf Adler Decals
I have never seen this type of Luftwaffe adler before , its none of the three recognised eagles, and i find it a bit strange that Luftwaffe ground crew would use a completely different eagle, helmets yes, but they were all Luftwaffe personnel, if this is right then i would say these three helmets are rarities and i would like to see a full version of these eagles

Dave, If you have the Baer book, check page 141, on which he shows a few crash crew helmets with standard luft decals. In a margin note he adds:
"Specimens of early helmets have been observed with gold leaf eagle decal (sic)"
These 3 are examples of those "early" helmets. I bought the first on about 15 years ago, the second about 10 years ago, and the last one about 2 years ago. They are rare, but do pop up from time to time, and these 3 are right as rain, having been vetted by Al Barrows in hand. Jim G.

Im not doubting their authenticity Jim, in fact i really like them because they are so unusual, i just found it odd that a seperate eagle would be used, what with the first pattern eagles being so available at the time, because these are prototype decals i would like to see a full intact version, does the Baer Book show them or just mention them
