GI, I think there should be holes in the body behind the cockade for ventilation

Thanks Shemp...one of the first in my collection, 40 or so years ago. I think it was couple hundred bucks. A LOT of money for a kid just out of college

If we could go back with what we know now, I bought my only TYPE 2 takedown with mum and I believe it was matched in 1978 for $75.00 !!

I guess it's all relevant...people reminisce about the good old days when German helmets were $20, but my first job, junior in high school(1974), I was paid $2.25 an hour
