    Here is one we have at The Parachute Regiment Museum at Duxford I thought you would like to see.............a true original Germanicon fallschirmjäger helmet which we had valued recently at £40,000 pounds.
    So if you see one bear that in mind, don't let it slip away from you and use these images from ours to ensure you get a real one!!
    Ollie who the guy talks about works for him and has brought out some cracking books on PARA stuff.

    That's just like I like to see them. Been there, and done that. Many had camo added, but that always comes with a bit of doubt, and suspension, as so many have been faked over the years.
