Turtle camo helmet

[philgilou]

Hello Guys

This is one other german camo helmet of mine. (Q62 mle35)
The scheme let me think to a turtle camo. Maybe coastal artillery?

Would like to see better quality images. Love the liner & strap

I am by no means a camo guy but I like what I see so far! Jim G.

I like what I am seeing, the odd turtle that i have seen from time to time seem to have been coastal artillery , one in particular was if i recall correctly a single decal ET, sadly I cannot find the image. Leon.

Hello Guys. Some other pictures made outside. Maybe a bit better than the others...anyway, thanks for your kind answer..

Outdoor pics are better. Nice matte finish to this repaint/camo. It all blends nicely, ageing of the green & swirl pattern have the same wear & patina. Liner shows NO sign of post war abuse. I like it too

Looks like a great helmet indeed, possible that the leather was taken out at some point perhaps as the seam is not at the 6 o' clock position it would be if it were in factory condition, but that was done in the field a lot, too. And I'd guess it was probably period done.
Really cool helmet nonetheless!

Many of my helmets the seam is in the 07:00 position or 05:00 position. What you say Luis is not true.

Very nice stahlhelm Philgilou, not the run of the mill camo we usually see.

Okay, thanks for that info, David, I'm still new to this so please excuse my error. Just heard it somewhere (do not remember where) that that was the case, but always good to be proven wrong
I will do my homework better next time haha
Though I feel a little bit silly now.
