Chickenwire is galvanised steel, hence it does not rust. Any advanced collector would know this.

​@@bevo-militariaoriginalww1w976 To put it bluntly, you're wrong. Galvanized Chicken wire DOES indeed rust, it's only Zinc coated steel wire. Once the Zinc coating is compromised in ANY way it begins to rust in any environment above 50% humidity. The Zinc coated, outer liner bands in German helmets RUST and I have at least a Dozen examples of that. Unless that Chicken wire never saw any service/use, it's going to show rust/oxidation. Don't get sideways on me about who's a serious collector or not. So please, stop with the attempt at being condescending, it's not going to work with me. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wEcH-BzY61E.htmlsi=tHL6e312loBdnkJT

He's incorrect, galvanized steel absolutely will rust overtime. Especially if it saw use getting scrapped against a hedgerow or anything else. Part of the reason why they ise chickenwire, the cloth covers got tore up on that stuff, even tanks couldn't get through them. Galvanized chickenwire does rust and if that helmet saw any action at all there would be.

For safety reasons unfortunatly not.

@@bevo-militariaoriginalww1w976 Damn real shame would have loved to see your top pieces and favourite helmet. But understandable

Thanks!

Thanks

HI FELLAS, just trying one more time to find a copy of that book by Reznik on SS insignia , how about a ISBN# ? Thanx Sander....

I will have new copies available next week@@jamesmarianos4357

Thanks for the tip :D

Not really, you see that very often.

@@bevo-militariaoriginalww1w976 I would be inclined to disagree, it is unusual for German headgear to exhibit half-sizes, most are in whole-numbers, like the helmet liner system they'd employed.

@@nathansaunders2576 sorry but you are wrong. Look on my website, many sold examples with half sizes. One example of the many listed: bevo-militaria.com/shop/sold/luftwaffe-overseas-cap-schiffchen-8/

@@bevo-militariaoriginalww1w976 and the ratio of half-sized to whole sizes you've sold? Assuming the sizes of those caps you have sold, are a random selection with no purchase bias which would unintentionally influence the incidence at which half-sizes appear in frequency, within your selection, such as purchasing by size, maker or style. I would wager, not all manufacturers of caps, and quite possibly fewer than half, produced caps in half-sizes. More research needed. It may also vary within any given period of the war, as well as by maker. It is possible that some manufacturers dropped half-sizes as an economy measure. More research needed. I have been collecting as long as you, and have a medical predisposition to identify patterns. The half-sizes being less common than whole sizes, in German field cap production, is a pattern I have noticed.

The cap looks good imo. Looking forward to seeing the pictures on the web shop so we can see a detailed stamp. I would be the first one to be critical, all items look solid.

Then you should study more about tunics before making such a comment.
