[Mecklenburg]

I'm going to post some pages with WW1 items from my collection. Hope you like them. Starting with steel helmets. I hope the text is readable.

Beautiful piece Johan and what a great pattern design ( a very early Keith Haring ).
I love it

Cheers, Sander

Model 1915 ET62 “Square Dip” helmet. Eisenhuettenwerke Thale A.G., Thale /Harz. The very rare first batch of WW1 German steel helmets dating from late 1915; with a distinctive sharper corner or dip to the peak. This is a size 62 example. Leather pads are complete but without the cushions inside. Refurbished during the war. The helmet has a couple of small drag rips to the string holes. Each chinstrap mount is present. The helmet received according the 1918 regulation, a three-tone camo finish with black dividing lines. The inside has a few random splashes of white and red paint from having been in a shed or garage most probably.
