The regiment is JR63, from Oppeln (VI AK), 5th Kompaniethat is a steal for $175! named as well! great find, but if you could post more pictures of the ink stamps that would be great. Because we can then Identify which regiment it came from.
The silver fitting represent pioneers/ engineers and would be a steal for 175.I believe the shop has 3 more total. One I believe is almost identical, but the metal parts are silver - says Koenig as well. Another is a hard helmet style, also silver metal I recall. The last one I don’t recall, I think it’s similar to mine. Place is in Maryland if anyone is interested. I wasn’t looking for one of these, they had other WW2 helmets as well. I don’t know enough about them to know if they were good buys or not.
Then the guy who got it in Thiaucourt was severely dyslexic!..thiaucourt ?
They look great. As Brian has said many times, it's up to the individual collector to do what they want with their helmets.My version of restoration. I’m guessing the consensus here is to leave these as found - but I do like the cleaned up polished look. I had to sew the back visor on, it was being held with the air vent piece. I’m sure nylon thread it’s far from the original stitching, but it works for me.
