and here's my Mauser P38 w/ a bonus!

Picked this up from a elderly collector. It's a beauty, matching number 44bfy Mauser P38. He tossed in the helmet to seal the deal

The helmet is worth almost as much as the pistol - nice photos of the pairing, well done!

I have the same style helmet in my office - this one also has the remains of the national colors on the right hand side, which I presume yours does.
(The toque is not original.)
Chinese mannequin is leaning because of field gear, zelt, shovel, bayonet, gas mask, Bread-bag a little too much weight for it.

Wear the helmet to the range next range shoot!
(just kidding)

Congrats - If that helmet could tell stories!
(it has that "been-there/done that" look)

With the recent heat we've been having here in SoCal, my choice of range appearal is more about comfort!

What a terrific combo!
I want that on display on my coffee table.

Wow, they look great together , I think you should make an matching antique style wood stand for the pistol to go next to the helmet's old looking stand.

Great looking display. I can only imagine you paid a pretty penny but they're worth it.

Excellent pair. The liner looks to be in great condition! Nice Heer cap aswell.

Thanks for sharing.

Like the wire stand. Home made ?

eBay, 2 for $16.00 if I recall...

[45acpguy]

I did a search for pistol rack some results but not the one. Ebay has weird rules and I think the word pistol doomed the search.

Check out item# 191697267719. Same guy I purchased from. $18 in I.E. area

That's so cool! Nice find.
What's the helmet resting on?

It's an antique hat stand.
