EA-Militaria.nl Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Excellent topic to start with Lenny. Got this one in the other week. A wellworn Panzer Schirmmutze. Just how I like them! Cheers Erwin 3
Field Marshall Lenny Posted February 16, 2016 Author Field Marshall Posted February 16, 2016 The way I like them as well..
EA-Militaria.nl Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Here's another one of mine. A nice, in Belgium privately made, Artillerie SchirmMutze. Also in worn condition. This one came with it's tunic, but I only bought the cap. Still regret that!!! Grrr. Nonetheless a very nice cap. I use it for my Stug Commander display. Cheers Erwin 2

EA-Militaria.nl Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Had that problem too. Press refresh page and it Should resolve the problem 1
Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Here's some of my headgear. Edited February 17, 2016 by Afrikakorpsrat64 3
Jerry B Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I no longer collect German TR items but I still have a few bits and pieces kicking about at home including some tropenhelms. First up is an Italian M1928 2nd pattern reissued to the KM with the variant shields and property of the German Navy acceptance stamp. Ken N shows a mint example in his book on German Helmets and most you see are unused and were found on Capri in the 1970's. 1 2

Field Marshall Lenny Posted February 17, 2016 Author Field Marshall Posted February 17, 2016 Glad you got it sorted, some superb items been shown here.. 2
Jerry B Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 One of two Luftwaffe examples I own, maker marked S&H 1941 1 1
Field Marshall Lenny Posted February 18, 2016 Author Field Marshall Posted February 18, 2016 Superb, I love Tropenhelm. I've had a few over the years, but only one at the moment...

Thanks Lenny, I have had quite a few over the years and I still have four. Here is another Luftwaffe example, made by Clemens Wagner. 3
Field Marshall Lenny Posted February 18, 2016 Author Field Marshall Posted February 18, 2016 Love them, would be nice to have a lufty to go with my tunic, but hey ho...

Jerry B Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Heer 2nd pattern in used salty condition. I have in the past owned both Green and Tan first patterns which I have sold on but this was my first tropenhelm and I still have. I probably paid too much for it and when I eventually sell it I'll probably lose money, but its given me many years of pleasure. 2

Major General Bil4338 Posted February 19, 2016 Major General Posted February 19, 2016 The first cap looks like a bergmutz with later added insignia.
Major General Waffenamt Posted February 19, 2016 Major General Posted February 19, 2016 Must admit i would love a cap in size 59. Rare for my big bonce!

Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Some detail of the Heer 1st pattern Tropenhelm. Since the leather edging is gone, gives us a chance to see a little of the cork construction. I hope to replace that repro strap with original at some point. I realy should die it dark gray though(the repro strap that is). 3
Davejb Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 These are great, I really miss my Troppenhelms, the first one I got was bought by my dad in Petticoat lane, London for £5.00, with both insignias and first pattern construction, two more bought for £20.00 each much later on , one Luftwaffe the other had KM insignias, I nearly bought one that had SS insignias but it was too pricey for me at the time £60.00, did,nt earn that much money in early 70s straight from school, regret that now, even more seeing I have none left, I nearly bought one last year, 1st pattern with no leather brim or chin strap or insignias, but they wanted £80.00, there was too much work involved to repair and add and the cost, so walked away, a few weeks later I found a complete leather brim on a really torn up tropenhelm , could have kicked my self 2
