UBB.threads Forums Uniform & Accessories Helmet Forum Am I seeing things?

Thanks guys. Yes, I do believe it was a previous SS helmet but I was just wanting to get some corroboration from you...just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Here in hand and to the naked eye it is quite obvious, however, it is very difficult to get that effect to show up clearly with an image on the screen.

Ok, here's the kicker...the helmet was oversprayed and re-issued to the Wehrmacht. There is a Heer decal on the left side. Interestingly, there is no evidence of another decal under the Heer so it seems to me that this was a single decal SS which was converted to an Army helmet. A very cool helmet, IMO.

I don't know of any history behind the helmet other than it recently came out of Belgium.
