Not my helmet but Dr. Frank Buckholz picked this up this weekend at a flea market for €600.

Hey Joe,
It looks like there is some potential there, but there is a lot of silver paint to remove.

Joe do you know what is written on the name tag?

Is it possible to remove that paint safely?

Need better pictures, it does look like a lot of silver metallic spray paint. what is that awful "Unteroffizier" sticker thing with the bad typeface, that is definitely a computer typeface, that can't be original to the helmet. :twisted: And yes I think I saw this too on Ebay, I remember seeing the initials before.
