Army (Heer) ‘Afrikakorps’ tropical pith helmet

[Pinky1978]

Hello, could you give me your opinions if everything is OK?

Thanks

[Neil Hever]

Appears to be a good second pattern Tropenhelm. I will defer to others on the authenticity of the shields but first glance looks ok. You need to provide sharper photos of the shield and since this is a private site there is no need to block the Hakenkreuz. Neil

Thanks Neil , as soon as I receive the photos I will upload them.

Second pattern was more Sudfront than Afrika ( similar to the coco feldflasches ) but otherwise looks fine to me also.

Signs to look for on the Heer Adler shield include the little dots on the black painted area, a strong head and beak and chest and wing feather details. Compares well to mine although your photo is a little fuzzy. Neil

Thanks Danmark and Neil.

With your opinions I think I can be sure of the purchase
