So with the helmet shell, the swivel bale conversion would’ve been postwar. When they converted to swivel bale during the war, the swivel bales were placed right at the rim. For some reason, after the war, the bale placement was lower.
@@livinghistorymilitaria what I’ve heard is that they are original concrete chunks from the wall because “it’s more expensive to make new concrete to reproduce it” however they have been repainted
Some nice finds there, and at reasonable prices. I like those trench art lamps. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸🪖
@HuntingDownHistory thanks so much! I really like them too I've never come across any in the wild! Usually just trench art vases or paper weights
Nice additions man. Congrats

@@connorhaberland4314 very interesting thank you!
2 days ago I had never seen those Berlin Wall things. Now they keep appearing everywhere and tis confusing
@BritishMilitaria could be a gimmick for all I know, unless they've just started to make these with chunks thatve been saved?
