                  Off to a good start my friend.

                  One day I will need to acquire a DDR passport and SED membership book. I think my next purchase will be a pair of DDR soldiers ID tags, and a set of West German ID tags

                          DeWayne - I just saw your latest post in this thread. Does the helmet belong to you? Great piece to have in your collection. Also, is there any East German markings?

                            Ralph,

                            Yessir, she just arrived in my collection direct from Germany. The previous owner was a former member of the East German Air Force. I have yet to have the time actually sit down and examine the interior and all but I will sit down soon and if I find something Ill photograph them for review

                                It will be interesting to read any of your follow up posts or new thread about this helmet.
