            Coastal artillery KM camo 1

            I have a few coastal artillery camo helmets. This one is similar to Dimitri's. I am betting it is from France, given the similarity to period photos of camoed helmets used at coastal batteries along the Atlantikwall.

                This one is from the KM coastal battery complex in Sandviken, Norway, near Bergen.

                    HKB 33/ 977 Rossland on Holsnøy, Artilliegruppe Hjeltefjord

                    This one is from is actually a Heer Coastal Artillery helmet, to remind us that not all coastal batteries were Navy installations. Note the shipboard/bunker grey coloration. It was whitewashed at one point, I believe. From a coastal battery equipped with 21 cm Mörser 18 howitzers northwest of Bergen, Norway.

                        This one is most likely from a coastal installation, as well. Found near Kiel.

                              Scott helped me ID this helmet I am selling on the e-stand as a likely Coastal Artillery used helmet, from the green shade of the overpaint. It matches the green tunics beautifully. Hope you like it guys

                                That is a gorgeous lid, Andy. Would be a perfect match for a coastal artillery uniform. I would jump on it but don't collect cloth. If I owned it I would feel compelled to buy a uniform to go with it!!!
