M35 Waffen SS Double decal helmet

        

     

 

This is a very decent example of a 1939 production Quist M-35 double decal Waffen-SS helmet. The batch number 3233 is indicative of 1939 production, as is the dark slate grey color and blue-green retaining rivet combination. The "wide" Q decal is also featured here, along with the Q pattern party shield, both factory glued and lacquered to the finish. The liner is in fair condition, complete, and tight with no bent pins. The chinstrap is fragile and missing the tip. This helmet comes from a long time collection, whose owner has treasured it for years. All in all, it displays very well and is an example of a scarce Q production helmet. The price is 17.5k USD and includes a certificate of lifetime guarantee of authenticity from me.

M35 Heer Double decal helmet

       

For sale is an Early ET M-35 DD Heer, ( size marked ET66) with an early "apple green" finish in combination with the blue-green rivets (early ET color combination similar to the "Fat Rune" ET produced SS helmets of that similar batch number range). This is a very presentable helmet that the seller pulled out of the woodwork in the Northeast a number of years ago. The paint and decals are about excellent, with graceful crazing to the decals. The leather portion of the double reinforced liner was cut when the seller obtained the helmet, for reasons unknown, but the rivets are tight and untouched. The chinstrap is a crisp example that is 1937 dated. The date is not legible on the liner band, but with the reinforcement feature, is presumably late '37 / early '38. The batch number is thought to be a 1937 production period number. This is a presentable, early example of an ET Heer M-35 and would fill a good spot in any Heer collection. The helmet is priced at 4k USD and comes with full authenticity certification. Please contact me at kellyhicks@hotmail.comON HOLD

Black SS parade Helmet

              

For sale is a unique and rare Allgemeine-SS droop bill helmet, manufactured by DRP and possessing a satin black finish and hand-rendered SS insignia. The three pad riveted liner and chinstrap system is similar to that of the RZM helmet. There is a name clearly written in the liner band, in Neues Schrift. The initials vK also appear in the back skirt. The hand painted insignia are more refined in their execution on this helmet than normally encountered, having been carefully stenciled. They display the crazing and age characteristics expected on a piece original to the mid-1930s. The SS used hand painted insignia widely before the standardization of the CA Pocher insignia in late 1935. Since most hand painted examples were re-finished and re-decorated, existing examples are extremely rare. This helmet is part of the vast collection of a well-known transitional SS helmet collector, whose identity will be shared with the buyer--suffice it to say the provenance of this helmet is impeccable. The buyer also will receive a certificate of guarantee of authenticity from me. Price is 16.5k USD and includes a certificate of authentication from me.

SS Double Decal M35 (Formerly Black) Helmet

For sale is a very rare and early ET64 Allgemeine-then-Waffen SS M-35 helmet. This piece numbers in the lowest range of the ET M-35 production and possesses an early M-31 liner with the Braunschweig manufacturer's mark embossed in the leather. The original decals on the innermost finish were scraped when the helmet was refinished, but clearly may have been ET Fat Rune decals given the early make of this helmet. The factory finish was covered in black when the helmet was reconfigured for parade use, then the final finish of non-factory pea green and a set of CA Pocher decals were added for this helmet's final use configuration. Many SS helmets display multiple layers of paint and decals, due to their relatively low place in the procurement chain in the early years prior to WWII. For the collector who is looking for a nice veteran SS helmet that carries a lot of history with it. Price is 13kUSD and includes full certification of authenticity.

Offered for sale is a stunning example of a very early reissue or re-paint Waffen-SS double decal helmet. It is a Q62 with a 55 liner, and follows the exact trend of the milky-grey early repaint helmets, to include a beautiful set of CA Pocher decals on top of the re-finish. This helmet is pictured on page 184 of "SS Steel," and is untouched except for a minor repair to a weak spot in the chinstrap (the strap itself is original to the helmet, and has a roller-buckle commercial buckle that is sometimes encountered in earlier Allgemeine, SD, and sometimes KL helmets. The liner is excellent plus condition, with all rivets perfect. Overall the helmet rates a solid 95% condition and would make an outstanding addition to any SS headgear collection. It comes with a certificate of lifetime guarantee of authenticity to the buyer. Contact me for price and other information at kellyhicks@hotmail.com ** SOLD **

 

 

M18 SS Black parade/Allgemeine-SS helmet

For sale is a rare offering of an Allgemeine-SS M-18 transitional in stunning original condition, ca 1934/35. The shell consists of a German M-18 with a satin black unit-applied spray finish, leaving the inner dome characteristically in its factory field grey. The hand-applied ORIGINAL insignia show graceful aging and pre-date the 1935 advent of the CA Pocher issue decals (see Baer, "History of the German Steel Helmet" for reference to this date). The ca 1932 liner and strap are complete, untouched, and are perfect examples of the cottage industry approach the SS suppliers were taking to try to outfit the fledgeling force by any means possible. This historic and early piece shows the hallmarks of that early period of struggle. Original transitionals are very rarely offered for sale, and this is a chance to own one that comes with a provenance of single ownership for over the last 40 years. The price is 13.5k USD, and includes a certificate of guarantee of authenticity from me. Contact me at kellyhicks@hotmail.com** SOLD **

M40 Heer camouflage helmet

     

For sale is an untouched condition Heer M-40 single decal camouflage helmet, NS 62, size 55. The sprayed camouflage paint finish is reminiscent of what is commonly called "Normandy Camo", with the expected ordinance tan and medium green scheme. There is a strong Heer shield partially visible--not dug or artifically uncovered--just showing honest wear to expose a portion of it. The liner and strap are in as found condition, showing wear and age. There is some warping to the liner band and retaining rivets, a result of hard, period use.

M42 Heer camouflage helmet

     

For sale is an interesting and unusual version of a ca 1943-44 camouflage helmet that presents a camo pattern that suggests an urban "rubble" combat environment. I originally obtained this helmet from a friend who sold a 30 year collection of veteran obtained items from the Pennsylvania area. This one was brought back by a veteran of the Italian campaign. The condition, wear, camo paint and all features are completely untouched in every way. The helmet shows a lot of wear and use prior to it being camo'd, and then a lot of wear to the camo itself--so this one definitely saw a lot of service. It is a one-look original and would be a great addition to any camo collection. Price is 2k USD, and I will provide a certificate of guarantee of authenticity with the helmet. Contact me at kellyhicks@hotmail.com ** SOLD **
