I ordered one of these East German helmets last week. It was at my doorstep in 5 days. The helmet looks almost brand new. For the price and the quick response with the shipping. I was very happy with the product. I would recommend others to use this company.

I still remember the East German guard running through barbed wire and throwing his gun to the side to get into West Berlin. That is where I first saw this helmet. The one I received was brand new, excellent condition and also an added helmet net.

nice but liner by default is too small, and it can be "adjusted" but dont bother, plastic rivets that once off, are off forever.

I wanted this helmet from my aunt for xmas, for my collection of military gear. It came wraped in protective paper, all new. No scratches, dents, or other things. Mine even came with netting to put sticks and leaves in for camo.

Beautiful (if you can say that about a military helmet), like new inside and out. Even came with a cool camo net. Thanks BudK.

I too received a beautiful brand spankin' new helmet in protective paper, a great deal! Excellent quality! Join the buyers club and get an additional 10% off! Great deals at BUDK! My third helmet, bought the Polish helmet and Russian Helmet too! GREAT DEALS!

The discription says used, but the helmet I got was new, never issued, all clean leather not rust, infact the helmet was still wrapped in the protective paper, clean paint. The helmet brought back memories when I was growing up in Germany, how we used to annoy the (back then East German) border guards. I have an older helmet as well, but it is well used, compared to this one that I just got from BUD K. It's a little bit of history of the Cold War that I grew up in. It's am excellent buy for the money.
