WW2 GERMAN AFRIKA KORPS PITH HELMET SOLDIER BRINGBACK

This is a World War 2 era U. Soldier bring back from the war that was bought in an estate of his personal items.

This is an incredible find. Seldom seen German heavy felt 2nd model Afrika Korps pith helmet.

This helmet is in incredible condition with good clean felt and leather trim is all there and not cracked through. Inner leather cap band is complete and clean. Top valve is loose and works properly. Both emblems are clean with no damage.

Only the inner red felt lining shows any damage and it has some tears as seen in the photos. Very rare especially in this clean condition. All felt is clean with no cuts, gouges or tears and no staining.

If I can find it, I have the original paperwork the soldier filed for command clearance to bring back this helmet and some other things after the war. I will supply a copy if I can locate it again.
