Original Un-Issued Waffen SS Helmet Covers

Panzerfaust · 04-09-2017, 07:12

This is a batch of Original Waffen SS Un-Issued Helmet Covers I was able to purchase from the factory in Bavaria, Germany. Some are complete, some damaged from storage (a little mouse was a hungry), some 90% complete and some 80% complete (missing rocker hooks and springs).

Дмитрий Приветствую.
ещё раз хочу отметить, что я не продавец, а лишь Гарант чистоты сделки и транслейтер в общении с Drew.
вот этот он за 2.500$ предлагает:

ну и собственно вот в чём брак заключается.
заднюю часть устройства крепления чехла к шлему, при производстве установили выше чем нужно.
к слову сказать, на док.фото этот косяк так же встречается, из чего следует что каких то строгих требований к пошиву каверов, на производстве не было.
ну и период производства играет роль конечно же.

Hello!
Yes this is stampings, but the funny thing is ALL of the SS Helmet Covers are sizes stamped Size "1"! What I mean is the size 60/62, 64 AND size 66/68 are marked Size "1". Why I do not know? Here are some photos of the markings and you can see some SS Helmet Covers are size marked several times!

Here a cool Stamp marking that was done on the Spring/Summer. I believe this was done because this particular SS Helmet Cover was "on top of the pile" and is marked size "62". This one is already Sold.

Great luck to have such things in the collection!

Отличная находка!Большая удача иметь такие вещи в коллекции!

Drew,
dimensional stamps on helm'coverings were printed not always.
but if marking of the size was, she very often didnt correspond to the actual size of a covering(why- a riddle).
it is the known fact.
there is a set of types of dimensional stamps on helm'coverings, some of them strange and not clear. they can be - black/blue/green and red.
imo- at factories there was no strict quality control of production of helm'coverings(it is well visible if to study all known Original helm'coverings), especially at the end of war.
we know that coverings gathered in several stages, different people. at what stage the size stamp was put- we dont know. and it is logical to think that in a hurry, dimensional stamps were put with mistakes(to it there is a set of examples).
