I've been selling on eBay under multiple user-na.A FINE VICTORIAN ERA COPY OF A 16th/17th CENTURY VAMBRACE (FOREARM-DEFENSE FOR A SUIT OF ARMOUR), ca. If I find a helmet for $300 and sell it here on eBay for $450 that is a great profit margin in my eyes and I'm happy with that even if the helmet is worth more and a dealer would have held out for nothing less than $750. Picking helmets and other German collectibles is just a hobby of mine and has nothing to do with my main business which is in home renovations. ![]() ![]() This is of course complete nonsense as their are variety of ways to find original German helmets as I myself am able to do on a monthly basis such as through on-line estate sales, euro based eBay sites, on-line searches of newspaper ads, local gun shows etc. These dealers are greedy and want to control the German helmet market by creating a climate of fear by always insisting that every camo helmet being sold on eBay must be a fake or post war reproduction and that real original helmets can only be found on one of their websites. These forums are also chalked full of on-line helmet dealers who themselves have websites whereby they make their living selling at high retail prices and so anyone selling on eBay at a much lower price is a real and direct threat to their businesses. These members are all anonymous and so you never even know who is giving their opinion whether or not it is a 16 yr old boy in his parent's basement pretending to be an expert or a seasoned professional. PLEASE SEE ALL ADDITIONAL 12 PHOTOS LOCATED BELOWSELLER'S CAVEAT - (Please read below)(If you are a member of an on-line helmet discussion forum please refrain from bidding on this auction as I have recently found that these chat rooms are full of extremely pessimistic people who almost always have the opinion that any camo being sold on eBay is not the real deal.

I currently have 8 sets left and will sell as first come first serve. These rivet sets all came from that same source and are 100% guaranteed to be the real deal from WW2 German factories.Each set is priced fairly I believe at $25 which is what is needed to install the liner system into an original German helmet shell. They basically took German WW2 used helmets and painted over them in semi-gloss black paint keeping for the most part the original rivets in tact. All these pins are 100% ORIGINAL and came out of Czech sourced German re-used helmets that were painted black and re-used by former Iron Current countries for their civilian police and fire services. I have a pretty large collection of original mid to late war M40 and M42 helmets which is how I am able to successfully color match the paint to actual feld grau. All of the split pin heads have been professionally painted in the correct German factory feld grau color with a textured finish so these are dead on accurate historically speaking. All heads have been repainted in textured field gray enamel paint and the rear prongs have been professionally straightened back out so that once you install them it will appear as though they have only been used once (bent over once) and will therefore seamlessly flow into the rest of the helmet and appear as untouched. I have photographed the 9 sets I currently have in stock however this buy it now auction is just for one set of three painted split pins and 3 matching back slot washers. 100% ORIGINAL WW2 GERMAN HELMET SPLIT PINS RIVETS FULL SET WITH BACK WASHERS(PLEASE CONTINUE TO SCROLL DOWN TO SEE ALL 12 DETAILED PHOTOS)DESCRIPTIONOk folks you don't see these too often but here they are finally a set of WW2 ORIGINAL German helmet split pins. ![]()
