    A very early BGS helmet

    My fellow collectors ,

    Here we have a very early BGS helmet that is based on a M 42 shell.
    Unfortunately the stampings are covered with a rather thick coat of paint
    and therefore are not readable.

    Some time ago I presented another of these first type helmets here :

    http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ght=bgs+helmet

    Of special interrest is the way the chinstrap bales had been added to shell.
    In this case some extra holes had been made into the shell to fix the bales
    directly.
    Not sure if these are old wehrmacht parts or not.
    Hope that you like this rather salty specimen.

    Regards

    Bernhard

    Rivet for fixing the chinstrap bale on the shell and view of the
    simplified liner system.

            Thanks for posting the detailed pictures! Not that I have much hope of finding one like this, but at least now I know what to look for

              Bernhard,

              Very interesting helmet with a civilian type liner. Never seen one like this with the bails rivited to the shell. Thanks for the detail in the pictures.

              Regards,

              Gordon
