German camo helmet-childs toy...anyone ever seen another??

[Milton]

Another recent find, this little guy doesn't seem to have any twin I can find. It's metal, has an internal liner consisting of a metal band w/ three pads (reminiscent of the standard WWI Stahlhelm configuration), and has riveted chinstrap loops through which a shoestring is run (same as which connects the liner ears). The outside of the helmet is hand painted in camouflage colors and everything looks to have a lot of legitimate age. It's in the "droop bill" configuration as well. I'm assuming it was made for the German market, but have yet to find another example. Has anyone else ever come across one like this in their travels?? A few snaps below. It looks like it'd fit a 10 year old pretty well by its size, and the overall condition is very good.

Hi Chris. Thanks for the lead, but I can't find any reference to it on that site. Can you provide another lead or perhaps paste up some photos to this thread for comparison's sake? Thank you!

Yes, I think I saw the French one, but the "German" example(s) must have sold.
