  1. The subject of German helmets is fraught with refurbed, repainted, relined and generally fake helmets. The black one with the Swastika decal is completely repainted with fake decals applied in my opinion. The SS helm mmmmmm ! aluminium was used during and post war and i have a nagging thought that those decals only ( i could be wrong !) only appeared on Transitional helmets ...WW1 shells Those with combes were fire helmets and were lightweight with a crude M34 liner never issued to be used by the Wehrmacht. Sorry just my take on what i see........ 😞

  11. Hi,

    Β  Β  Β  I was reading through the trailer thread and saw you have a mortar trailer 75yk77Β  did you ever track down its history ? and do you still have the trailer?Β 

    last year I collected one 75yk78 in good condition and will probably use till next winter before any restoration.
