It includes some very rare and hard to find items, including a wedding helmet and water protection police sports insignia. A great collection by itself, or a way to start your own!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lovely set includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- One Rare German WWII Army Heer Single Decal Miniature \"Wedding\" or \"Honeymoon\" Helmet.\u003c\/strong\u003e Made from solid cast aluminum and painted Wehrmacht Green, these helmets legally allowed soldiers to get married while not actually being present at the ceremony. During the ceremony, the bride would place her hand on the helmet and take the marriage vows in the soldiers absence. This method was approved by the NSDAP government as binding and official, and was a way to avoid disruptions, as so many young men were at the front fighting during the war. Definitely a unique solution to a problem faced world wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- One German WWII Wehrmacht Heer Army EM\/NCO Steel Belt Buckle, dated 1943.\u003c\/strong\u003e This service worn buckle is missing most of the paint on the front, giving it a fantastic patina.
