It's been a while and this thread needs an update. I personally pulled this out of an estate clear out in April 2022.

She’s a beauty. I used to have quite a few German helmets.

This puppy came off craigslist around February 2022. The guy's uncle brought it back for him to play with as a kid and he didn't want it anymore. In case anyone is wondering.... no, it was not cheap, but it is real.

The camo before the m38 s absolutely stunning, that is a great example of a camo helmet where they dodn’t bother to take off the chicken wire and it gave it a unique look, great finds!

Treasures are still there...  but hunting is getting more difficult. Picked up this group, in 2021.  He picked this all up at the Tempelhof airport, end of war.  Photos show him taking the helmet from a Flak Crewman's grave.

I feel like I saw that grouping before, is it on the spoils of war section on the USMF, I may be mistaken, maybe I saw it in Here before. I never saw the picture though. That is an amazing grouping with great provenance.
