German Helmet Not A Reproduction-excellent
NO SYMBOLS OR OFFENSIVE MATERIAL OF ANY KIND. THIS HELMET IS AMAZING!!!! Original DGS (Bundes Grenz Schutz) West German Border Guards, standing toe-to-toe with the East German Grenztruppen across the border and the Wall! Designed exactly from the M35 helmet from WW2. Same rolled under bottom finish and metal content. Stood guard from 1950 until Bundeswehr founded in 1956 to replace the BGS. Leather liner in really good shape, and strap also usable, though shows wear. Stamped with correct seal & Logo-size stamp looks like “66” but hard to see. JUST LIKE WW2–Very affordable wy to own an original style German helmet!! Inside measures 66-67mm around center–liner measures 56-57mm but is adjustable or easily replaceable. Some wear on finish (see photos), but in pretty good shape for age.
