Relic SS Helmet

[Stossgruppe3]

I have had this helmet for a number of years .....
This is a re-issue helmet as there are Wehrmacht decals underneath the applied SS
The question I have is ... Was this regulation ?
And are the SS decals original ?

I do not think they are good David

Not good I'm afraid.....

Gents, they are actually a good set of Pochers.

Good eye Samir. The W/SS drew from Heer depots frequently.

Nothing wrong with those decals at all.

Don't the shields look a little round at the bottom ?.......

Due to deterioration that slightly altered the shape of the decals. I have seen this multiple times. Despite that, these decals are period applied Pochers on an early re-issue M35 Quist helmet.

Agree with Samir, reissue DD with correct Pocher decals as you would expect on a reissue SS, good eye my friend.

Glad we've got Doug and Samir on our side.. I was lost on this one.
The SS/Heer decals blending together really gives a unique and pretty awesome appearance. Great lid!
