Re-Issued Time and Again

[pickelhauben]

Hey Guys,
I just noticed this helmet on German ebay .
I tis a simple em helmet that has been re-issued about 6 times or so.
The holes have been blanked over time and again along with SEVERAL unit stampings.

Eingestanzt oder eingebrannt sind in etwa zu erkennen: im Nackenschirm "23. I.R.24JB", "III.B.". Im Innenhelm rund um das Lüftungsloch: "7. B." sowie "RJRN.9 3. B." sowie "1889" sowie "29R". Ein sehr geschichtsträchtiger ,stabiler Mannschaftshelm.

I like that, the helmet has a lot to tell, if it could speak. It just screams history.

A great example of the continuing re-issue of German equipment, including helmets.

As Coert has said, If it could speak, it would be very worth it to sit and listen.
An interesting piece indeed.

Very cool! Reissue items are some of the coolest in my opinion.

Then why does everybody get so excited when there’s a double set of holes for the Wappen? This is the norm for most old helmets, especially Metalhelme.
