The liner and strap are fully intact, marked and complete, but show the signs of long-term storage. The one anomaly is the missing slot washer at the right front rivet. There is no sign of anything touched, but the washer is absent. View the pictures, it is as untouched as they get--especially with the other two rivets being perfect. Based on the in-hands view, if something was corrected, it was most surely done in the period. COA accompanies.

- [Late WW2 Camouflage Helmet, M-18 !](https://ss-steel-inc.com/product/late-war-camouflage-helmet-m-18/): Not commonly seen is this great example of the late World War II use of leftover stocks of WWI transitional helmets, that had initially been refurbished around 1940 and given double decals at that time-- as well as the m40 style liner.

The camouflage finish is three color, spray- applied, and fairly intact throughout with the exception of a patina area at the top of the helmet. This is shown in the pictures. The helmet is a BF 64 shell, produced during World War I by Germany. The liner is a M40 style as mentioned, and shows some dryness / shrinkage, but is fully intact and nice.

- [Outstanding Waffen-SS General's Visor Cap, Possibly Attributed](https://ss-steel-inc.com/product/outstanding-waffen-ss-generals-visor-cap-attributed-coming-soon/): For sale is this beautiful artifact, possibly but not certainly, the property of RK w/ Oakleaves and Swords Träger, Sylvester Stadler. The cap itself has been closely inspected by the best experts, and it is original period - used, with  original insignia, consisting of a cupal set of  Wagner eagle and Deschler skull. The the cap has been handed down through a lineage of top collectors in Europe and the United States, and has been featured in Jan Meland and Trond Elvans' famous book, "Heer and SS Visor Caps and Uniforms," which is truly an excellent work, highlighting the best characteristics of these types of caps. This cap is exquisite. Made by Erel - "Extra" it shows authentic, moderate service use throughout. The insignia match in condition and the Totenschaedel covers the famous Erel vent hole in the front. The cap shows fine workmanship, "doeskin" construction and the initials "S.S."-- possibly for Sylvester Stadler. The collector / owner and others who have handled this cap believe it could have been Stadler's for the main reason that there is only one SS general in the 9 November 1944  Dienstaltersliste with the initials "SS". There is no other SS general with a surname beginning with an S and a first name beginning with an S - Except Sylvester Stadler. This list covers SS-Standartenführer through SS Oberst-Gruppenführer.    The actual initials 'SS' stuck in the leather sweatband have been in the cap since it was first advertised for sale in 2009. Without a 'smoking gun' photograph of Stadler wearing this cap -- or other hard evidence-- the cap can only be priced as a premier example of a service-used SS general's cap. This is an especially nice example, with no flaws. By itself a truly exquisite hat, a once in a lifetime collector item, COA accompanies.

- [Waffen-SS Visor Cap Attributed to Sicherheitsdienst NCO](https://ss-steel-inc.com/product/historic-visor-cap-attributed-to-sicherheitsdienst-nco/): This is a very cool and historic SS NCO visor from a collector in the Nordics who obtained this cap in a split up of a few items from a locally famous SD official who served in a small Norwegian town. His name was Willi Rutten (pictured in uniform and after capture), and evidently at the end of the war he was not convicted of war crimes and was essentially let go. His cap (ostensibly the one in the wartime picture) has survived in less than optimal shape over the years, but still has a lot potential to be re-shaped and re-badged. The base material is a fine gabardine upper and badgecloth band, with wool piping. Aside from the flattening and a portion of the ersatz sweatband missing, there is no material damage. The cap could be conserved; re-shaped and the visor re-attached, which will improve it and give it more longevity. Insignia are available and it is possible to discern the type Rutten had on his cap in the photo (Zimmermann?). Given the history of the piece and association to the owner, it is reasonably valued and comes with full COA.

The runes show normal wear with a slight touch of patina. At some point a pip on the rank tab was replaced. The shoulderboards are sewn-in medical piped in the cornflower-blue color of SS medic, with one cipher and rank pip  showing slightly less wear than the other, which may signify something worn over the left shoulder-- or storage against something that caused finish wear.

The helmet started out as a factory finish Double decal M35 with golden tan liner. And in this case, the soldier affixed an M31 style carbine clip Chin strap, which has been on the helmet forever, and has some camo overspray visible in the pictures. The special snap attachment of this strap also has worn a corresponding area in the inner flap of the helmet, which is also visible in the pictures. The camouflage scheme is on top of a rough texture reissue scheme, which when applied would have necessitated removal of the party shield, and that is evident under the camo paint that the party shield had been removed. The SS Runic shield is apparently intact under these finishes. The outermost finish in my view is a classic Normandy camo, whereby the SS used a lot of red and green in their camo schemes. A one-look, beauty that would grace any camo collection. COA accompanies.

- [Phenomenal Waffen-SS Tunic From Rudolf Fend, LAH](https://ss-steel-inc.com/product/phenomenal-waffen-ss-tunic-from-rudolf-fend-lah/): This incredible tunic once belonging to SS-Sturmbannführer Rudolf Fend, was first purchased over 50 years ago by Rick Sheffler, a famous Midwest US Collector. In his quest to find out more about Fend, as well as to learn if he was alive or not, Mr. Sheffler had lengthy correspondence with an SS Officer Walter Krüger (not The Gen. Krueger who committed freitod at war's end), and others to finally make it happen (Copies of all this correspondence are included herein with this grouping). Needless to say, Mr. Sheffler was able to learn from Fend about how he used the tunic, how long he had it, etc., and that Fend was happy for Mr. Sheffler to keep the tunic in his own collection as a remembrance to his service. Since those days, the tunic has made its way into several very notable collections, finally here to SS-Steel to find a new collection to call home.    The tunic is a tailored M-36 Rock style, with open collar and rear belt supporting buttons. The fabric is a luxurious high quality worsted, piped in silver edging at the collar. As Fend was an anti-aircraft specialist, the piping is red that frames the fine sewn-in SS-Sturmbannfūhrer shoulderboards. The sleeve eagle is an officer bullion version; the cufftitle is a textbook officer's bullion embroidered LAH in sutterlin script. The collar tabs are hand-applied, with Fend explaining that he used the tunic since he was an Untersturmführer in "Deutschland" regiment-- an incredible history of use-- and had changed the insignia multiple times as he rose in rank. All of this information is contained in the files and letters. There are many photos of Fend with Dietrich, Panzermeyer, and other notable LAH leaders, and at least one picture of him evidently in this tunic, standing by Dietrichm (There is a grouping of medals that were collector added. All but the ribbon bar remain, and are included in this price).  There are precious few original and undisputed, named senior officer tunics in the collecting world, and this will capstone the finest SS regalia collection. COA accompanies.

- [Allgemeine-SS Parade Helmet](https://ss-steel-inc.com/product/allgemeine-ss-droop-bill-parade-helmet/): This is a used but fine condition example of an early SS parade helmet. These helmets were commercially produced and procured, as the SS at that time had no access to the wehrmacht supply system. This particular type is called the "droop bill" by collectors because from the scallop forward, the visor of the helmet angles downward slightly. It has the rivets that indicate that it once had a commercial liner, but that has been period upgraded with a an M31 liner, single ply band, dated 1931. The liner and the liner band both have black paint on the edges, indicating the helmet was repainted black after the upgraded liner was installed. The second layer of black paint shows heavy brush marks and was done hastily but thoroughly. Both decals (Pochers of course) were left exposed, although the paint edged onto the borders of each decal, slightly.
