Hi all helmet collectors.
Here you will get a bit of a history on a SS-helmet:
Here in Norway and Sweden this helmet is only called "the Arendal helmet".
Arendal is a town south in Norway.
- For many years ago the owner of a car dealership in Arendal found this helmet on the attic of his shop, a part that had been horse stables under the war. See the pencil writing inside with signature and the text: found 2/8-45 in the field...
And here it begins:
1. Somebody found this helmet, wrote inside with pencil and put in on the attic in the horse stables in Arendal.
2. A car dealer found and after some years sold the helmet to a collector in Arendal.
3. This guy ended collecting and sold the helmet to collector Knut in 1995.
4. I bought the helmet in 1998.
5. I sold the helmet to another collector in Arendal in 2000.
6. This collector sold the helmet back to Knut in 2001.
7. I bought the helmet back from Knut in 2003.
8. I sold the helmet to a collector in Sweden in 2006.
9. The Swedish collector sold the helmet to Gisle in 2009.
10. Gisle sold the helmet back to Knut in 2011.
11. I bought the helmet back from Knut 25th May 2013.
Totally crazy how a helmet can go back and forth in all these years
Hope you like the helmet (ET) and the history.
Regards
Derek
