I also like them like this- used. Many of these were found in storage after the war. To me, the history of an item starts when it was issued. I have a Tropenhelm like this also.

yes, that is a stunner. You are very lucky. I love the Italian goggles on top. This is 10 times better some mint item never issued. I never understand the attraction mint, unissued items have.

WANTED - AFRIKA soldbuch/wehrpass, documents, fotos.

Thanks guys!

And i agree that the history of an item starts when it has been issued and actually used during the period.
