Description

Wehrmacht miniature steel helmet. Used for military proxy marriages.

Original field grey painted miniature steel helmet with both decals. Gilt inside. Many soldiers were unable to attend their own wedding during wartime. At the wedding ceremony, the bride puts her hand on the helmet and takes the marriage vow in his absence. The government recognized the vow as official. Typical signs of use on the top.

Size: 9.5x5 cm.
