My hope to one day be able to find and afford a Wehrmacht stahlhelm tickles me pink, but not as much as the thought of owning a Luftschutz stahlhelm. goodGRAVY they’re so sleek. The beaded variant of the “gladiator”-style stahlhelm is my preferred design; always has been. 

Oh empty wallet, how you make the militaria-collector in me cry .___.
