  Double Decal Helmet for German Paratroopers [M38] Luftwaffe. (Lot: 1312)

  This Fallschirmjäger M38 paratrooper steel helmet with two original decals represents a rare example of early production, retaining its original factory finish and both insignia in untouched condition.

  The M38 design was developed specifically for Luftwaffe airborne units and differed fundamentally from standard army steel helmets. The significantly shortened brim and compact dome shape reduced the likelihood of snagging on parachute equipment elements and minimized air resistance during the jump. Since German paratroopers jumped wearing their steel helmets, the M38 had to provide protection not only in combat but also during the descent and landing itself. To achieve this, a special internal system was developed featuring shock-absorbing elements designed to cushion impact loads and prevent head injuries. Another distinctive feature was the complex system of chin and retention straps, which provided considerably more secure helmet fixation compared to standard infantry models and prevented the helmet from shifting or coming off during the jump and landing. The preservation of the original liner and complete strap assembly is particularly significant when evaluating a collectible example. The M38 was not merely a piece of personal armor; it simultaneously served as part of the paratrooper’s specialized jump equipment. Its design combined combat protection requirements with the specific demands of airborne operations, making the M38 one of the most technically distinctive and recognizable German steel helmets of the Second World War period.

  Early German steel helmets of the Third Reich period originally featured two decals, placed on both sides of the dome. One indicated affiliation with the respective branch of armed forces or organization (in this case, the Luftwaffe), while the second represented the national insignia in German flag colors. With the outbreak of war, the use of the second decal was gradually discontinued, as the bright insignia served as a revealing element and did not meet frontline operational requirements. During the war, many early double-decal helmets were repainted, received additional camouflage finishes, or had one or both decals removed. A significant number of helmets were also lost or destroyed directly during combat operations. For this reason, original double-decal helmets that have retained their initial factory finish and both decals are encountered considerably less frequently today than later single-decal and no-decal variants. Particular collector value is attached to untouched examples on which the second decal has survived completely or nearly completely and has not been concealed by later paint, removed, or restored.

  DACHAU
  In 1933 Wäckerle was picked by his old ally Himmler to be commandant of the newly established Dachau concentration camp.[6] Under orders from Himmler, he established ‘special’ rules for dealing with prisoners, rules that instituted terror as a way of life at the camp.[7] His initiatives included execution of four prisoners for ‘violent insubordination’ and ‘incitement to disobedience’[8] for which he was charged criminally. He left the post a few months later, with Theodor Eicke taking his place.
  WAFFEN-SS
  Wäckerle was an early member of the units that became the Waffen-SS and finally came to be an officer with this group, serving in the Netherlands. He led his SS-battalion during the breakthrough of the Dutch Grebbe-line and was wounded in the process. He also served in the invasion of the Soviet Union.[6] His service was spent with the 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking.[10] He had reached the rank of Standartenführer by the time he was killed in action near Lviv in 1941.

  Genuine Austro-Hungarian M17 steel helmet of the First World War. Wartime web chinstrap, complete original leather liner, Isonzo-braun finish. With a named US veteran bring back provenance, France, 1918. (Lot: 1212)

  Genuine Austro-Hungarian Stahlhelm, Model M17, of the First World War. Austria-Hungary used the German M16 but produced its own M17 version, and this example shows all the correct Austrian markers.

  The key indicators of Austrian manufacture are the cloth (web) chinstrap with leather tabs and roller buckle, and the chinstrap attachment set higher on the dome than on German shells. The dome retains its characteristic side ventilation lugs (Hörner), which also served as the mounting points for the armored brow plate. The warm brown surface tone is consistent with the Austrian Isonzo-braun finish.

  An important dating detail: the cloth chinstrap points to wartime production of 1917 to 1918. Later, postwar Austrian helmets of this type used a leather chinstrap, so a complete web chinstrap marks this as a genuine wartime piece rather than an interwar one. Inside, it retains the complete original three-pad leather liner with its drawstring, a feature frequently missing or replaced on surviving helmets. The liner carries a size stamp reading 64.

  Provenance: the helmet is accompanied by an old collector tag stating that it was brought back from France in November to December 1918, and named to William Joseph Tobiska. In keeping with the period, the tag calls the helmet German: the American soldier did not distinguish the Austrian pattern from the German one, which is typical of war souvenirs and only underlines the authenticity of the story.

  Condition: an honest, untouched example with a textured surface, light oxidation, and wear consistent with a century old combat item. Offered exactly as found, a genuine WWI Austro-Hungarian helmet with complete liner, original wartime web chinstrap, and a named bring back provenance.
