That is an extremly rare TR card board box.One does not see the 25/9 mark on many.Barry had one in the for sale about 6 months ago and it sold in about five minutes.He said it was damaged in shipment but I think it was period.Great piece. Confused

I think the Norwegian collectors like this helmet the most.

It´s a Norwegian M1931 steel helmet with the VQ monogram.
The helmet was used by the "Förergarden".
And they was Vidkun Quisling-(Norway´s collaborationist leader under German occupation in the second world war)private bodyguard.
His name lives on in many of the world´s languages as a synonym for "traitor".
A very rare helmet,even here in scandinavia.
In nice condition, and Al have a better one in his fantastic collection.

I should add that there is less than 20 known originals of these helmets. Here is one in wear during WWII. Picture from Anders Skotte's book.
