    Luftwaffe Pith Helmet

    Hello Fellow Collectors,

    I can buy this Tropical Pith helmet from a good friend of mine.
    In my opinion it is a nice original (first?) type tropical Pith Helmet but as I usualy only collect Heer and Waffen-SS I really can use you're expertise!
    From what I understood the eagles are heavily faked as are the shields, can't really comment on these on this helmet.








    Thanks in advance!

      That's kinda weird, I can see them logged in and logged out, I uploaded via Imageshack.
      More people have problems with the pictures?

          That's because the pics are on your computer, so only you can see them.
          There's probably something wrong with the links you made.

          It's a bad idea using things like Imageshack, pics will disappear after a while anyway and will ruin the thread.

            Can a 'member' (not an 'Association Member) post images direct to the WAF site? I don't think that is possible.

                Ok, pics are visible now ..

                Do you have better pics of the eagle ?
                The design is good, the details are not..
                .. or is it a ground dug or painted eagle ?

                  Thank you!
                  I will ask the seller for a better close-up IMO it is not ground dugged.
                  This is the best I can do for now.

                    These should be highly detailed stamped eagles, the pitting and low detail on this one tells me that it's a fake eagle.
                    It's rather hard to find a loose original eagle, so I would go for a helmet with original eagle.

                    Here's a original eagle of this type ..

                      Thanks alot!
                      I will ask for some better pictures just to be sure, but based on this info I'll have to let this one go.

                        Here are some extra pictures the seller just made, there not the best but it's something.
                        I am waiting for some sharp close-ups to arrive this evening.

                        According to the seller the eagle is very worn as is the helmet itself.

                          Thanks for added photos. Eagle is a fake. Would not waste your money on this beat up helmet, wait for a better one with original insignia.
