Great looking helmet,I'm also in the market for a nice KM helmet.

But first of all,I would love to find some trousers to match my KM KA light jacket,in the same material and quality as this one:


Does anyone know of such pair of trousers for sale anywhere?????????

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.

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 as always your KM helmets are amazing, really interesting pieces

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!!!
