This is the last batch of Original Waffen SS Un-Issued Helmet Covers I was able to purchase from the factory in Bavaria, Germany. They have gone through the whole building and found these. There are no more, so I was able to purchase all of them. Some are complete, some damaged from storage (a little mouse was a hungry), some 90% complete and some 80% complete (missing rocker hooks and springs).

My question to fellow collectors is that I would like to finish the un-finished ones and sell them as 90% Wartime completed and 10% completed present day? Sell them at a lower price. I know some collectors are purest and would like these to be left un-finished, but if they fall into the wrong hangs someone could complete them and sell them as 100% wartime completed.

These are from the same factory that I received the first batch. Found inside wooden crates in an old storage building. They claim that they did not make these during the war and do not know how they got there! I have told others that the original owners daughter is in her 80's and she said these were not manufactured there, but her father did support the war effort. Maybe in the dying days of the war it was a military depot??? They even called me from Germany and I spoke to the presidents secretary (she spoke better english than he did) and told they did not make them during the war!

Your intention of finishing them and let the buyer know is good of course, but who proves that the new owner would not sell it on as 100% original? Or the follow-following owner, etc. ...
So just because you finish them and pass that info on, is no guarantie they will not be sold late ron as 100% original ones
