Here is my best (and most famous) SS helmet portrait. This large original photo comes in its original frame and graces the cover of the recent Hicks/Beaver "SS Helmets" reference book.

Cheers,

Nice photo Darryl I remember that one in the book

That second ones also a screamer. I luv em when theres writing on the back and there dated, even though it's mostly sentimental rubbish.

Thanks. Here is one I own that has a dedication on the back. I have translated the text and computer-pasted onto the image.

Here is the obverse.

Many great "helmeted" shots can be on deathcards, I have some of them and I will post in these days.

A nice portrait of an SS Totenkopf soldier wearing the black M35 helmet.

The old German style of writing to me is somewhat of an art form. I believe that penmanship was actually a subject everyone took while they were in school back then. One does not find this style of writing anymore.

Beautiful photo...thanks for showing. It looks like this was taken at the Feldherrnhalle in Munchen.
