Agree with the above.....

But at a really cheap price. For the novelty I'd have one on my shelf. They were made this way for a reason. Not to sell "fake" DAK/Sudfront camos.

And one day we may just find out what the real purpose was and what country they were destined for. Adding to the history of these wartime shells. Just like the Norwegian re-issues which are collectible in their own right.

Just my lonesome view......</blockquote>
Mate . . . my gut-feel is you'll be waiting a few lifetimes before these are valued like Norwegian re-issues . . . but hey, 50yrs ago no-one thought an M35 DD SS would be worth $10K+ USD today!

Probably...that is why I said for a really "Cheap" price. It was never about investment value but more about the "timeline of the history" that I find interesting. From the first M16 all the way to current generations of composite helmets that have the Stahlhelm DNA embedded in their design.

Years ago, Norwegian helmets had almost zero collector interest. In the 70's, these were bought by the boat load by importers (Unique Imports being one), who then stripped, repainted and added fake decals. One of these was my first helmet no less. But today, that is viewed as taboo.</blockquote><br>
