Hi Doug,
Great additions too your already exremely impressive SS headgear collection.

Doug,

Very impressive collection indeed. Brings back a lot of fond memories (sniff). However, it is very nice to see that they have found a good home and appreciative new owner.

I would love to see some pics of your droop-bill helmet.

Cheers,

Here is a period picture of the glossy Danish SS helmet in wear. Unfortunately the pic is taken of the non-decal side.

And...here is a period picture of a squad of Schalburg soldiers. The helmet you now own could be in this very pic.
