Davejb Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Very nice Gus ,but those helmets still shades of Stalhelms, but they are strange looking things and I was told they were very heavy to have on your head, is that true 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The design was rejected by hitler because it was to different from the helmet associated with the German military. Like most other steel helmets, they weigh around 3 pounds, around 1.3 kilos. The helmet pictured in my post is a lightweight helmet of plastic used by Wachregiment and high ranking officers on parade or during ceremonies. Definitely a unique design... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike H Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 NVA Wachregiment is one of the few jackets I own, main focus being medals. I am a sucker for a good cuff title though! I think them really sharp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVA-Wachregiment is just one of the main interests in my East German collection...Are you knowledgeable about which medals an individual would be authorized to wear and the correct placement?

Mike H Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I think the bar you show would be good. Possibly even a 10 year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike H Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 You are correct, I was in a hurry. But then you should also have the 5 year with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike H Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) Hi Gus, top left is how it should look, L to R Merit, 10 and 5. Bottom left would obviously work also for your jacket. Edited May 31, 2021 by Mike H 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Abel Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 I have 5 year on the way, and believe I can acquire silver merit to put together bottom left set-up...thanks for your input! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
