when was this t34 made? and if ww2 do you have a history on it?

hi guys, i thought i would put up these 2 figures that were made by Verlinden (did i spell it right). if i remember right had these since the 80's or early 90's. 

i remember seeing these reissued helmets in quantity when i was a kid in shows. now today just about non existent. guess they are all in collections now.

every thing repro. its no wonder why collecting is a mine field. so sad.  

Definitely not German.  Does look similar enough to the U.S. one shown to possibly be a variation made by a different manufacturer, "the same but different".   Some typical German ones for sale over on WAF.   Lance    

Thanks. 

First Pictures Looks Like It Would Hold Some Kind Of Field Maps. Second Picture Bag I Have No Idea. If you also know the Era that would be great! Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. That is on my list after I wrap up Star Wars.  mikie

Never seen!   

Future General Theodor Osterkamp, Pour le Mérite holder of the Great War wearing the M18 Luftwaffe painted helmet. Osterkamp here a Major in 1936 at some parade or something (Note all the Flowers shoved in his belt), was actually in the Navy in the Great War, Marinefliegerkorps, and joined the new Air force since it was clear the Navy would not re-raise it's Aviation Arm. 

ShibaLegend,   Yeah, I plan on getting a pith helmet soon and an AK rig for my airsoft AK47.    It seems as if I could make a decent NVA kit if I actually had money, buy my job is only during the summer. The rest of the year I'm just at school.    Thanks,   Wade
