Very rare as well as' genuine German pith helmet of the second world war, it is a rare model of discrete KRIEGSMARINE in general and especially originally fitted with an amazing patina of time, it is not 'even been dusted and' remained so for seventy years and is' very complete in all its parts, including wimple, the beautiful golden eagle and 'nothing short of gorgeous with an oxidation time which makes it even more' charming pieces so now they are almost impossible to find, and within brand year of manufacture Enjoy
