Displayed with Das Schwarzes Korps tabak tin, WSS Panzer Officers early model overseas cap with panzer pink piped soutache which I am hoping will be in an upcoming SS Headgear publication, and 4,8 and 12 year SS Long Service medals-with a helluva cool story behind them if anyone is interested-

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,
Darryl

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.
