Hallo Nicola

I'm not into pith helmets, anyway some threads about JHS (Johann Hückel und Söhne) felt ones:

Hi Nicola

This is one off the unissued war surplus 2nd patterns that were found en masse at wars end. The "Germany" stamp denotes it was intended to be shipped to America for sale. Thousands of these came over to the States during the 60's & 70's @ $14.95us. It's possible this one remained in Germany/Europe but was part of the batch intended to be shipped, hence the Germany stamp for import (some are stamped "Made in Germany"). The insignia looks correct and the helmet is in amazing condition for being 75 years old. These were used in the Sud Front, Southern France, Italy, the Balkans and Russia.

Merry Christmas
Tim
