Have a Flak marked helmet?

[Marc Garlasco]

Gents,

I am looking for some "bling" for my book on Luftwaffe Flak Badges. If you have a nice helmet named to a Flak unit/Flak soldier that I could use in the book please let me know. I will be traveling through mid-August but would like to line up a few nice helmets now as i am getting the book ready. Please let me know. I would need quality photos ala Herr Kibler, at 600 dpi, or else would ask if you could ship to me if you are unable to take shots.

I don't need a ton, but a few nice helmets would make the badge book stand out.

Thanks guys!
Marc

Marc,

It is not what you are looking for ...., but I would like to know if FLAK unit named edge weapons are often seen in collections and why to the unit only and not to the soldier ?

Thank you .

Gorgeous helmet and dagger!!

I love flak-marked stuff as well, and have flak unit markings on belt buckle tabs, belts, bayonet frogs, 1st luft daggers, the chinstrap on an M-40 luft helmet and a nice painted flak unit marking in the crown of an M35 luft double.

Interested in any of those?

Thanks!

William

YES! Gents - these are all so gorgeous. At least I now have an idea what is available. When I am back mid-Aug I will repost on this thread and get in touch with you all.

Thanks!

I have this helmet ( sorry for the dark pictures ) that was in the late Pete Malone collection.
The insignia painted on the side could be a FLAK unit.
This is the only German helmet i ever found with an unit insignia painted.
For whom knew P. Malone 90 % of his collection was directly vet buys and he started collecting before the end of WWII.
