DD Luft Para Question

[Larry F.]

Guys,

Has anyone seen an original DD Luft Para helmet with an original to the piece first pattern luft decal on it? If so, did you see it first hand or in a period photo?

Thanks.

Thanks Willi. Should have been more clear with my question. Meant an M38. Thanks again.

Wow Eric,

I can only immagine what rarities you have in your collection

[Eric Queen]

The photo (of Grenzdorfer) is mine but not the helmet itself. It belonged to a friend of mine (who actually sold it to another friend of mine) but I did have a chance to examine it in the flesh a couple of times.

Just wanted to show it for those who had not seen one.

Thanks Eric and Willi for your feedback. Eric, incredible example and wonderful photo. Thanks again.

This foto (of Meilitzer) probably provides a better angle.

Ah yes, I should have remembered that helmet. I never handled it though. I may be mistaken (and I apologize if I recall incorrectly), but I think the current owner removed the wire.

Great photos Eric!
