A rarity indeed was the discovery of this intact RF number stamping. This has got the collecting world buzzing, as nothing has ever been seen on an M38 before!!
This is no fake, it is one of many helmets recovered from the site, and strangely it is the only one so marked - or at least the only one where an intact marking of this type has been recorded.
Below; This is a photograph taken of the area in 1945. The scale of items that lie buried at this location is staggering, thus it draws groups back to search for further treasures again and again.
The prisoner on the left is climbing on a mountain of helmets. Visitors will note that a large number of them belong to Fallschirmjäger prisoners.
There are still hundreds if not thousands of these still to be located.
