Testing my new camera

[911car]

This helmet belonged to Viktoria Luise, Wilhelm II's daughter and Princess of Braunschweig. She donated it to a museum in 1961 (see the original tag). It is probably a post-war model. The "face" (skull) looks more rounded, less emaciated that on earlier examples (compare with Adler's helmet). I have added a picture from Junker's post-war catalogue. Definition is poor but you can guess that the shape of the death head is similar. The Haarbusch has the same provenance.

Hi,

Great helmet!

Just out of curiosity, is it stamped 000946 on both sides of the silk lining?
