Both pieces show evidence of the helmet being a KIA-recovery. During the war, it was common for souvenir-hunting soldiers to sever the chinstraps and cut away blood-stained liners on the helmets of the German soldiers they killed in battle. The helmet's split pins and washers are all original and show no signs of tampering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProvenance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrivate Collection, Saint Henry, Ohio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\" name=\"viewport\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n        body {\n            font-family: 'Futura', Arial, sans-serif;\n            background-color: #f4f4f4;\n            margin: 0;\n            padding: 0px;\n        }\n\n        .condition-report {\n            max-width: 767px;\n            margin: 0 auto;\n            background-color: transparent; \/* Transparent background *\/\n            border: none; \/* No border *\/\n            padding: 0px;\n        }\n\n        .scale-container {\n            display: flex;\n            justify-content: space-around; \/* Changed from space-between to space-around *\/\n            position: relative;\n            padding: 0px 0;\n        }\n\n        .scale-item {\n            display: flex;\n            flex-direction: column;\n            align-items: center;\n            position: relative;\n            flex: 1;\n            text-align: center;\n        }\n\n        .scale-label {\n            font-size: 16px; \/* Font size updated to 16 *\/\n            color: #999; \/* Lighter color for \"Good\" and \"Excellent\" *\/\n            margin-top: 10px; \/* Increased space below the dot *\/\n        }\n\n        .highlight {\n            font-size: 18px; \/* Increase font size *\/\n            font-weight: bold; \/* Make the text bold *\/\n            color: #333; \/* Darker color for \"Fair\" *\/\n        }\n\n        .dot {\n            height: 12px; \/* Larger dot *\/\n            width: 12px;\n            background-color: #999; \/* Lighter dot color for \"Good\" and \"Excellent\" *\/\n            border-radius: 50%;\n            display: inline-block;\n            position: relative;\n            z-index: 0; \/* Ensure dots are above the line *\/\n        }\n\n        .highlight-dot {\n            background-color: #333; \/* Darker dot color for \"Fair\" *\/\n            height: 12px; \/* Increase dot size *\/\n            width: 12px;\n        }\n\n        .line {\n            position: absolute;\n            top: 10%; \/* Adjusted top property for better alignment *\/\n            left: 5%; \/* Shortened the line *\/\n            right: 5%; \/* Shortened the line *\/\n            height: 2px;\n            background-color: #eaeaea; \/* Lighter line color *\/\n            transform: translateY(-50%); \/* Adjust for perfect centering *\/\n            z-index: 0; \/* Line behind the dots *\/\n        }\n\n        @media (max-width: 600px) {\n            .condition-report {\n                padding: 0px; \/* Reduced padding for mobile *\/\n            }\n\n            .scale-container {\n                flex-direction: row; \/* Ensure items are in a row *\/\n                justify-content: space-around; \/* Bring items closer together *\/\n                padding: 10px 0;\n            }\n\n            .scale-label {\n                font-size: 14px; \/* Smaller font size for mobile *\/\n            }\n\n            .dot {\n                height: 12px; \/* Smaller dot for mobile *\/\n                width: 12px;\n            }\n\n            .highlight {\n                font-size: 16px; \/* Slightly smaller font size for mobile *\/\n            }\n\n            .highlight-dot {\n                height: 12px; \/* Slightly smaller dot size for mobile *\/\n                width: 12px;\n            }\n\n            .line {\n                top: 23%; \/* Adjusted top property for better alignment on mobile *\/\n                left: 10%; \/* Shortened the line *\/\n                right: 10%; \/* Shortened the line *\/\n            }\n        }\n    \u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"condition-report\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scale-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"line\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scale-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dot highlight-dot\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scale-label highlight\"\u003eFair\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scale-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dot\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scale-label\"\u003eGood\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scale-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dot\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"scale-label\"\u003eExcellent\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis helmet is in fair, well used condition.
