Some WW2 German Tropical (Tropenhelm/pith helmet) shields. Pictured are, Heer (Army), Kriegsmarine (Gold eagle, flat shields) and Luftwaffe with early style Eagle. Shields were used on 1st and 2nd pattern helmets as well as captured or foreign made/German used helmets such as the Dutch. And here is a even a photo of Rommel (The Dessert Fox) wearing a Tropenhelm.

Yes Tony.....It is Great Stuff/ Items....I think a lot better than the run of the mill bits we all seem to collect. Always good in a collection to specialise in some items, but to have a selection of them ....even better,

Many Thanks for showing us at MCN and ME....!

 

Best to you as always...IanB/UK
