My Clerkenwell
Electric Avenues | Trams of London
A century ago, trams were a familiar site in Clerkenwell, trundling up and down Farringdon Road and other busy streets in the area.
London then had the largest tram network in Europe. Bef Yigezu, of Islington Local History Centre, looks back at a bygone age of commuting in EC1. Victorian London experienced massive growth in its population, so the development of public transport was crucial to enable the city to expand outwards to the suburbs. A horse tram could seat up to 50 passengers, double that of omnibuses. Such a significant increase in efficiency helped lower costs, reduced fares and made trams accessible to lower-income groups.
The first tramways initially faced stiff opposition from affluent areas. The City of London and the West End never permitted lines to be built. Trams did not appeal to the middle classes because of the association with working-class commuters. However, the system got a major boost when Parliament passed the Tramways Act (1870) permitting tram services on the condition that rails were sunken into the carriageway and tramways were shared with other road users. The London County Council (LCC), formed in 1889, realised the importance of reasonably priced fares as a means to improve labour movement.
The two companies operating in the Clerkenwell and Finsbury areas, London Street Tramways and North Metropolitan Tramways, sold their networks to the LCC in 1896.
Rosebery Avenue was one of the first tramways to be powered by electricity
Tramways in Clerkenwell began to operate a horse-tram service from Islington Green to Ropemaker Street in 1871. It was run by North Metropolitan Tramways. Two years later it also introduced services along Old Street and Goswell Road from Angel. In 1885 a rival company, London Street Tramways, launched services along Farringdon Road and, later, Gray’s Inn Road. They would go on to provide a regular service between Caledonian Road and Clerkenwell. In this period of poor literacy, each service was allocated a diff erent colour for its livery to help passengers identify the service. Tickets for the fare were colour-coded, each denoting the price.
Electrification started in 1906. Power to the trams was received from conductor rails beneath the road by means of a device (known as a plough) a ached to the tram. Rosebery Avenue was one of the first streets to be powered by this method in London. In 1907, Clerkenwell Road, Goswell Road and Old Street were electrified, with St John Street converting the following year. In 1913 the number 17 route was introduced to the Farringdon area. It ran between Highgate and Farringdon Street by way of King’s Cross and Farringdon Road. The southern terminus for this route was located at the corner of Cowcross and Farringdon streets.
Many routes were disrupted by air raids during the First World War. Bombs dropped by Zeppelin airships in 1915 and, later, German heavy bombers during 1917 halted services while tracks were cleared and repaired. Tram services continued throughout the war. However, as men working on the capital’s tramways le their jobs to fight overseas, they were replaced by women, many of whom worked as conductors for the first time. Following the end of World War I, expansion of the tramways continued to a point where London boasted the largest tram network in post-war Europe.
The first trams were open-top decks, with ornate iron scrollwork and staircases. Their liveries reflected the stage-coach tradition of the Victorian period with bright and vibrant colours. Tram designs later became more functional. Just like today’s buses the tramcars were covered with advertisements. A typical double-decker tram was 10.4 metres in length and the vehicle had a large headlight above the driver’s position.
Trams had an average speed of 10.5 mph, although they could reach 20 mph on straight stretches. One downside of trams was the noise caused by the electronic motors, rattling of the bodywork and squealing of the wheels on bends. Trams were also fitted with a loud warning gong.
By the mid-1930s, the dominance of the trams was being challenged by a newer technology – trolley buses. These electric buses, powered by overhead wires, were quieter, less dangerous to other road users and more efficient. Farringdon Road’s route 17 trams were replaced by trolleybuses on 6 March 1938, becoming routes 517 and 617. Tram route 55 along Clerkenwell Road and Old Street became trolleybus route 555 in June 1939.
By the Second World War, most tramways had been replaced with the new buses and only south London and routes that went through the Kingsway subway into north London survived. Trolley and diesel buses gradually replaced trams and, in July 1952, London's last tram was retired. It was the end of the line for Clerkenwell’s 80-year partnership with the tram.
Islington Museum is at 245 St John Street, EC1V 4NB. Open 10am-5pm (closed Wednesday and Sunday). The latest exhibition is about poet and publisher John La Rose and the historyof Trinidad (until 29 August).

His plan succeeds beyond his wildest expectations when the Death Note is found by brilliant high school senior Light Yagami, who is also bored with a world he considers rotten. Although initially he regards the book as a prank, Light soon discovers, through experimentation, that the book's claim is true: picture a person in your mind as you write the person's name in the Death Note, and that person dies 40 seconds later of of a heart attack (although a different time frame and manner of death can be specified). Armed with that power, Light sets out on a quest he sees as noble: make the world a better place by eliminating all its criminals using the Death Note. Soon cast as the mysterious "Kira" (a Japanese pronunciation of the English "killer") in the media and on the Internet, some take exception to his playing god, most notably the police and the enigmatic master detective L, who resolves to do everything in his power to stop Kira. Light counters by doing everything in his power to prevent people from identifying or interfering with him, even if that means getting rid of people investigating him.

Aoi Bungaku Series
Oct 11, 2009 at 1:50am JST
The series consists of adaptations of six modern classics of Japanese literature: Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human (Ningen Shikkaku) & Run, Melos! (Hashire, Melos!), Natsume Soseki’s Kokoro, Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s Hell Screen (Jigoku Hen) & The Spider's Thread (Kumo no Ito), and Ango Sakaguchi's In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom (Sakura no Mori no Mankai no Shita).
No Longer Human (Ningen Shikkaku) - A high school student becomes lost and alienated. Despondent and aimless, he falls into a cycle of self abuse, depression and drugs that taints his life for years. Told in four chapters, each chapter deals with a different point in his life and the final chapter leaves him standing alone - an empty and hollow caricature of his former self.
In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom (Sakura no Mori no Mankai no Shita) - A love story between a 12th-century woman and a mountain bandit who abducts her.
Kokoro - A 1914 tale of a young man's life journey during the Meiji era. The work deals with the transition from the Japanese Meiji society to the modern era, by exploring the friendship between a young man and an older man he calls "Sensei". It continues the theme of isolation developed in Soseki's previous works, here in the context of interwoven strands of egoism and guilt, as opposed to shame.
Run, Melos! (Hashire, Melos!) - An updated retelling of a classic Greek tale of the story of Damon and Phidias. The most prominent theme of "Run, Melos!" is unwavering friendship. Despite facing hardships, the protagonist Melos does his best to save his friend's life, and in the end his efforts are rewarded.
The Spider's Thread (Kumo no Ito) - The Buddha Shakyamuni chances to notice a cold-hearted criminal suffering in Hell. But this criminal did perform one single act of kindness in not stepping on a spider in a forest. Moved by this selfless act, Shakyamuni takes the silvery thread of a spider in Paradise and lowers it down into Hell, but it falls upon the criminal to seize the opportunity and pull himself out - if he can.
Hell Screen (Jigoku Hen) - A famous artist is commissioned by a great lord to create a series of paintings depicting scenes of the "Buddhist Hell." The artist is unable to paint scenes that he has not seen himself, prompting him to torture and torment the Lord's staff to create his imagined images of hell. His creative efforts taint the household, as the story descends into madness and destruction.

Windermere Lettings Office
The Windermere Lettings office is situated at the top of College Road as you enter the picuresque village of Windermere.
The office has been open since April 2007 and covers the area between Troutbeck Bridge & Newby Bridge. The dedicated rental office opened due to the rental market in the area being so vibrant and has seen a steady growth over the past 7 years.

Windermere, originally a small hamlet called Birthwaite, came to prominence with the completion of the railway link from Kendal in 1847. The railway terminated at Windermere to avoid the steep descent to the lakeside at Bowness and proved to be highly lucrative, bringing in 120,000 visitors in its first year, mainly from the industrial towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire. Horse-drawn carriages were laid on to ferry passengers to and from the station to the lakeside, whilst hotel-based charabancs (early motor coaches) took guests on local sightseeing excursions.
Up to the 19th century, Bowness-on-Windermere was a fishing village. With the extension of the railway to Windermere and regular influxes of Victorian visitors, the commercial opportunities were soon realised. A host of hotels, villas and boarding houses rapidly sprang up to accommodate the tourists, all vying for a view of the lake. In 1869 the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway was built and linked to ferry services from Lakeside, cementing Bowness’s position as a fashionable day trip resort.
Moving forward to more recent times, the Lake District was designated a national park in 1949, and more recently the county of Westmorland was forever removed from the map. Together with the moving of the Lancashire boarder in 1973 Cumberland and Westmorland became Cumbria and our local South Lakeland District Council was formed.
The village manages to retain many aspects for a community – schools, banks, petrol stations, supermarkets and post offices are all close by. There is of course a wealth of restaurants, shops and hotels to cater for everyone’s needs and every budget. Set close enough to the M6 motorway being less than 20 miles away and the gateway to the Southern Lakes, Windermere is well placed to take advantage of the breathtaking scenery, lakes, mountains and all the activities which this beautiful landscape can offer.
Surrounding Windermere are the beautiful villages of:
Staveley is a pretty village, surrounded by rolling countryside interspersed with valleys, woods and drystone walls. The bustling village nestles at the foot of the secluded Kentmere Valley. Its history is shaped by two rivers: the fast-flowing river Kent and the smaller river Gowan. This abundant supply of water once powered 8 mills. Today, Staveley Mill Yard, the former bobbin/wood mill, is home to over 20 small enterprises and workshops including the UK’s largest cycle store, a unique cookery school, Hawkshead Brewery, an ice-cream parlour, artisan bread maker and the famous walkers’ café, Wilfs.
Staveley is a handy centre for walkers, with easy access to the fells, particularly the Kentmere Horseshoe. Craggy Wood, Longsleddle Woods, and Spring Hag are all within easy walking distance, while a 15 minute steep walk up Reston Scar provides spectacular views over the South Lakes. Nearby Dorothy Farrer’s Spring Wood is a nature reserve. In the past, the wood produced timber for bobbins, charcoal and basket making. Today, the wood is still coppiced, but managed for wildlife conservation instead.
Staveley Carnival takes place every two years and consists of a weekend of colourful celebrations where you can experience everything from music and dance through to community arts music and a carnival atmosphere. Everyone is welcome to visit and get involved.
The mills at Staveley date back to 1341. At its high point, the wood mill employed around 200 workers.
Excavations uncovered two Viking boats in Kentmere Tarn; one of which is in Kendal Museum, the other in the National Maritime Museum in London. St James Church has a magnificent stained glass window depicting the crucifixion and ascension of Jesus. Of the original church, only the 15th century tower remains, along with a medieval font.
Staveley still retains all the services a village needs from shops, pubs, restaurants, a post office, petrol station and school.
Set amidst the charm of the Lake District, close to the fringe of Windermere, this attractive village makes an inspiring choice from which to forage further into a magical heartland of the lakes, lofty towering peaks and lonely gorse clad moors.
Interestingly, Backbarrow was the home of the famous ‘dolly blue bag’ dye, widely used by housewives in the twentieth century. There are many reminders in the area of the regions long tradition of association with the cotton and flax industries.
The village is set on the banks of the River Leven which for decades provided the source of power for the various industries in the Leven Valley. It is also close to the delightful heritage steam line, The Lakeside and Haverthwaite railway which runs through lovely scenery. Morecambe Bay is within easy driving distance and offers a pleasant, seaside alternative for those who tire of Lakeland grandeur.
The area is ideal for walking, climbing, water-sports, fishing and there is a wealth of interest for the botanist.
Troutbeck
The Troutbeck valley lies mid-way between the towns of Windermere and Ambleside, cradled by the slopes of Wansfell and Applethwaite Common, following the Trout Beck (river) all the way down to the shores of Lake Windermere. Most of this area is grazing farmland and woods along the valley bottom, populated by a few scattered farms, cottages, larger houses, and the village of Troutbeck itself. Almost every building in the Troutbeck valley is over 100 years old, and many are over 300 years old. The whole Troutbeck valley lies within the Lake District National Park. Most of the village is a Conservation Area and there are many Listed and National Trust owned buildings.
The surrounding landscape is exquisite. The peaks of Yoke, Ill Bell, Froswick and Thornthwaite Crag rise steeply to over 2500 feet to dominate the head of the valley, and the Trout Beck runs through woods and farmland to plunge through steep ravines just before entering Lake Windermere at the foot of the valley.
The village of Troutbeck itself is really a collection of tiny hamlets strung out for about one and a half miles along the old valley road. It is a truly unique village, full of vernacular architecture in an unspoilt valley setting. It has three traditional pub/hotels, a well-used and recently refurbished village institute, one church, about six B&Bs, and a highly-regarded village shop and tearoom. The village shop is supplemented two days a week by a visiting post office service that provides vital services for many village residents.
Troutbeck’s Shop, Tearoom and Village Institute are widely regarded as the heart of our village.
Within the whole of Troutbeck ward there are about 260 properties. In the most recent survey around the main village itself we counted 105 houses, of which 42 were second-homes or holiday cottages, and 63 were full-time residences, including 15 long-term rental homes. And in the Troutbeck valley there are 6 tenant farms – most owned by the National Trust. Several of our second-home owners have visited Troutbeck for decades and make an active contribution to our village community. But many are landlords renting their holiday homes to weekly visitors.
Although highly popular with tourists, Troutbeck has no official car parks, and just one village shop and tearoom; many visitors arrive on foot via its network of footpaths and bridleways. Visitor attractions in the Troutbeck valley include seven hotels, one Youth Hostel, a National Trust Property at Townend, and a large caravan and holiday chalet park at Limefitt which dominates the riverbank opposite Jesus Church.
Troutbeck is a wonderful place to live in, not just to visit.
Ings
Ings is a small village just a short distance on the A591 from the town of Windermere. The river Gowan meanders in the area. There are a number of country walks close by. A nearby caravan park provides holiday accommodation.
The local pub, the Watermill Inn, was awarded the Campaign for Real Ale Cumbria Pub of the in the past and has won numerous other awards.
The village church, St Anne, was built in 1743, and its architecture reflects the style of the time. Of note are the carvings of the reredos, pulpit, and lectern. The chancel floor is of Italian marble. It was funded by Robert Bateman, once a local, who became a wealthy merchant. The east window of the church represents the transfiguration.
This small village has a petrol station, a pub and the local secondary school. It lies between Windermere and Ambleside with Troutbeck being very close by. The houses in this village are a mix of old and new properties.
The Parish of Crosthwaite and Lyth lies 5 miles west of Kendal, 5 miles north of Grange-over-Sands and 3 miles south of Bowness-on-Windermere. The M6 motorway is 5 miles from the parish. Manchester Airport is 82 miles to the south.
Crosthwaite derives its name from the old Scandinavian word, “thwaite”, meaning a clearing in a forest or a piece of land, which has been enclosed. This was blended with “Cross”, which may reflect the earlier Christian connections with the Irish or Angle missionaries of the sixth or seventh century. The Norsemen also gave the Lyth Valley its name; “hlith” means sloping hillside.
This quaint village once served as home to mill and industry workers; rows of cottages dating back to the 17th century still stand today. Crook is a quiet place set in rolling countryside with a village pub and with history and folklore, legends and tales.
There is a handful of roadside houses and the Holy Trinity Church, this was built in 1875 from stone quarried from an outcrop just across the road. Along the road there is Bryan Houses Farm, this used to be the home of Jonas Barber, a well-known maker of grandfather clocks, 300 years ago. Winster House is a fine looking Georgian house with a huge barn, prominent in the Winster landscape on the edge of a wood.
Close to the village of Staveley, Kentmere is a small hamlet with farm buildings scattered on the hillsides. The river Kent flows through Kentmere and is the swiftest flowing river in the country, dropping 1000 feet in 25 miles and once provided the power for 90 mills around Kendal. For those really seeking the rural landscape Kentmere is a beautiful valley with dramatic views, only 4 miles from Staveley and yet it feels “in the middle of nowhere”.
Underbarrow takes its name from Helsington Barrow, a 700ft high limestone ridge that overlooks Kendal. It has an array of cottages, farms and modern bungalows. The Punchball at Underbarrow is the local public house which serves fine foods and ales.
“Underbarrow and Bradley Field… This is the last division that remains to be spoken of in the parish of Kendal. Underbarrow hath its name from its situation under the barrow, hill, or scar, which extends from north to south all along in this division. That part which is called Bradley Field received its denomination from a family of the name of Bradley, which came from Bradley in Lancashire. There was an ancient chapel at this place [Underbarrow]. In the year 1708, this chapel was rebuilt at the expense of the inhabitants of Underbarrow only (for Bradley Field is not in the chapelry)”.
A small village just north of Newby Bridge at the southern end of Lake Windermere and as the name suggests on the side of the Lake, well actually the eastern side to be precise. As small cluster of houses, the odd hotel and home to the aquarium of the lakes, the lakeside Pier for the steamers and the lakeside to Haverthwaite steam railway. A great base to explore the quieter side of the Lake with Grizedale forest, Satterthwaite and Hawkshead all a few miles north.

The WNBA and its union announced a tentative eight-year labor deal Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2020, that will allow top players to earn more than $500,000 while the average annual compensation for players will surpass six figures for the first time. I call it historic," WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in a phone interview.

The WNBA and its union announced a tentative eight-year labor deal Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2020, that will allow top players to earn more than $500,000 while the average annual compensation for players will surpass six figures for the first time. “It was collaborative effort,'" WNBA players' union president Nneka Ogwumike said.

The Associated Press — By DOUG FEINBERG - AP Basketball Writer
The contract, which begins this season and runs through 2027, will pay players an average of $130,000 and guarantees full salaries while on maternity leave. The collective bargaining agreement also provides enhanced family benefits, travel standards and other health and wellness improvements.
“I call it historic," WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in a phone interview. “The CBA guarantees substantial (financial) increases. The way we are paying these players is different than the past. ... The top couple players are tripling (in pay) where they were. Other players are making $200,000-300,000. The average will be over $130,000. Everyone gets an increase here."
Principal deal points have been ratified by the players and the league's Board of Governors, and lawyers are finalizing the language. The deal calls for 50-50 revenue sharing starting in 2021, based on the league achieving revenue growth targets from broadcast agreements, marketing partnerships and licensing deals.
“I was adamant on the 50-50 target," Engelbert said. “The league and players work together to market this league so we can share revenue with the players. We have to hit some targets.”
The salary cap will go up 31% to $1.3 million in the first year — up from $996,000 — and another $750,000 in prize money for special competitions arrives in 2021. Under this deal, the maximum base salary would increase to $215,000 from $117,500.
“You can pay your stars. That's how the league grows,” Engelbert said.
This will be the fifth CBA for the WNBA, which launched in 1997. Like the last one, there is a mutual opt-out provision after six years.
The CBA also proposes a minimum of $1.6 million in offseason league and team marketing agreements that would create up to $300,000 in additional annual cash for select players.
The rookie scale for the Nos. 1-4 picks will rise to $68,000 — an increase of about $15,000 from this year — plus the ability to qualify for league-guaranteed money under the marketing agreement.
“It was a collaborative effort,” WNBA players' union president Nneka Ogwumike said. “I think that we really all had the same things in mind and had different way of getting there. We really put our heads together and came up with some ideas."
Ogwumike said the labor pact provides more financial incentive for players to stay in the offseason instead of playing overseas. Former league MVP Breanna Stewart tore an Achilles tendon overseas last year and missed the entire WNBA season. Diana Taurasi sat out a season a few years ago because her Russian team was paying her more than $1 million and wanted her to rest.
“This agreement is reflective of the game growing and the league growing and then the revenue share will grow," Ogwumike said. “Revenue sharing is putting your best foot forward.”
Engelbert said the additional money needed to fund the CBA will come from a variety of sources.
“Teams and owners are stepping up. The league is stepping up," said the commissioner, who started last July.
She also touted the new “Changemakers" program, with key sponsors supporting the WNBA in its transformation across marketing, branding and player and fan experiences. AT&T, Nike and Deloitte are the inaugural three business partners.
“We’re hoping to lift, not just women in sports and women in basketball, but women in society,” Engelbert said.
The league will also expand its schedule by a few games and add an in-season Commissioner's Cup tournament this year.
The WNBA also will work with the NBA and its developmental league and college basketball to promote players for coaching opportunities. Engelbert said players can get paid at the market rate even if the NBA franchise is affiliated with a WNBA team. This was an issue last year when Washington Mystics guard Kristi Toliver could earn only $10,000 as an assistant for the Wizards because of pay restrictions in the previous CBA.
Other highlights of the CBA include:
— Travel improvements where players are given premium economy airline tickets as well as individual rooms on road trips. In the past, players flew coach and some shared rooms.
— A more liberal free agency system that allows players to become unrestricted free agents sooner beginning next year if they aren't given the “core” designation by their team. It also drops the number of times a player can be so designated from four to three beginning this year and down to two beginning in 2022.
— Players receive their full salary while on maternity leave, are given two-bedroom apartments for players with children as well as workplace accommodations that provide privacy for nursing mothers.
— The league is also introducing family planning benefits of up to a $60,000 reimbursement for veteran players for costs directly related to adoption, surrogacy and fertility treatment.
— Enhanced mental health benefits and resources.

Germany will strive to save Iran nuclear deal - Gabriel
NEW YORK/BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany will do all it can to persuade the United States not to abandon the Iranian nuclear agreement, whatever the outcome of German elections on Sunday, Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said on Thursday.
German Foreign Minister and Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel arrives to attend a meeting of the parties to the Iran nuclear deal during the 72nd United Nations General Assembly at U.N. headquarters in New York, U.S., September 20, 2017. REUTERS/Eduardo Munoz
Gabriel told reporters any U.S. move to cancel the Iran deal and impose new sanctions on Tehran would discourage powers such as North Korea from negotiating an end to their own nuclear programmes.
Germany would work with the European Union, France, Britain and where possible China and Russia to press Washington to preserve the deal, under which Iran curbed its nuclear work in exchange for the lifting of sanctions, he said on the sidelines of a U.N. meeting in New York.
Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives are poised to win Sunday’s elections, but it remains unclear if Gabriel’s Social Democrats will play a role in the next coalition government. Gabriel said Germany would maintain its position on the Iran deal, regardless of which parties formed the next government.
U.S. President Donald Trump has called the Iran deal “an embarrassment”, but Germany and other powers who also negotiated it with Iran fear its collapse could trigger a regional arms race.
Trump must decide by Oct. 15 whether to certify that Iran is complying with the pact. If he does not, Congress has 60 days to decide whether to reimpose sanctions waived under the accord.
“Now we will all try to convince the Americans in the remaining weeks ... that calling the agreement into question will not increase security,” Gabriel said.
The United States said on Wednesday it was weighing whether the nuclear accord served its security interests. Iran said it did not expect Washington to abandon it.
Gabriel said Germany would have to consider whether to stick to the agreement even if Washington backed out, but said that could prove “very difficult”, given that the United States would immediately impose new sanctions against Iran.
He said Iran was complying with the deal but businesses had been reluctant to commit to investments and contracts out of concern that the United States could re-impose sanctions under the agreement’s “snapback provision”.
Gabriel said it was “tragic” that the only agreement aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons was being called into question.
In Berlin, German Economy Minister Brigitte Zypries said Germany, as one of Iran’s most important trading partners in Europe, had a “great interest” in preserving the agreement.
German exports to Iran rose 23 percent to 1.4 billion euros in the first half of 2017.
The foreign minister said he accepted the U.S. position that Iran’s behaviour in the Middle East had not improved since the deal - but added there was no hope of it changing its ways if the accord fell.
Any collapse would send a “terrible signal” for other diplomatic efforts. “What should motivate countries like North Korea or others to enter into negotiations in the future when the one example of such a deal is being destroyed?” he said.

Store: German Items: M16 Leibstandarte SS Helmet
German WW1 Leibstandarte Waffen SS Helmet : This is a genuine German WW1 M16 helmet repainted in apple green, then again repainted in satin black for the Leibstandarte Waffen SS. It has then further ageing and rusting applied to recreate a magnificent Leibstandarte SS parade helmet.
The Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler (SS-LAH) founded in September 1933 was Adolf Hitler's personal Bodyguard Regiment ("Leibstandarte" being the German word for "bodyguard"). In 1939 the SS-LAH became a separate unit of the Waffen-SS aside the SS-TV and the SS-VT.
The SS-LAH independently participated in combat during the Invasion of Poland (1939). Elements of the SS-LAH later joined the SS-VT prior to Operation Barbarossa in 1941 and by the end of World War II they had been increased in size from a Regiment to a Panzer Division.
The Helmet: The helmet has been painted initially in pale apple green as the original WW1 helmets were. It has then been painted in satin black but the inside has been left apple green as the majority of the original helmets were, as the liners were covered up with newspapers during the spraying process. The SS were in short supply of helmets during the late 1930's and utilised WW1 Helmets extensively. This is known as a transitional helmet.
The liner is a replacement 1931 model and is also genuine adding the the value of the helmet. The chinstrap is an aged RZM SS Chinstrap's, suitably marked with runes and RZM stamp. The front rim fold has corroded slightly, adding to the authenticity! Genuine transitional helmets are $9000 upwards, if you can source one!
If you like Waffen SS Parade helmets then this very rare model is one for your collection! Full insurance is included in the postal charges.

Legendary pilot Charles Lindbergh's historic Connecticut estate is for sale
In 1927, Charles Lindbergh was celebrated worldwide after accomplishing the first solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean in the airplane he helped design, The Spirit of St. Louis. His book, We, about the journey became a bestseller and Lindbergh received many prestigious honors including the Distinguished Flying Cross medal from President Calvin Coolidge. After his marriage to Anne Morrow Lindbergh in 1929, the couple teamed up to break the transcontinental speed record in a flight from Los Angeles to New York in just less than 15 hours, and traveled throughout the world promoting air travel and safety. The Lindberghs owned a waterfront home in Darien, Connecticut on Long Island Sound where they lived off and on until Charles died in 1974 and Anne in 2001. While living at the home, Anne wrote several best-selling books and Charles kept his seaplane moored in the cove off the front yard, convenient for day-trip flights. The Nantucket-style home and its large guest cottage, which they named Tellina, are now for sale, priced at $11.75 million and $6.3 million respectively.
Located in the upscale Tokeneke neighborhood on 1.77 waterfront acres with 635-feet of shoreline on a peninsula jutting into Scotts Cove in Long Island Sound, the 5,663-square-foot, six-bedroom, six-bath home was built in 1919 with large arched glass doors and windows to bring the extensive water views inside. There is a large kitchen with breakfast room, dining room and fireplace in the living room. Grounds contain two garages with the capacity for five cars and a dock with space for two boats along with the option to drop additional moorings. Additional outdoor structures include waterside pergolas and terraces for entertaining and both open and covered porches. The adjacent waterfront guest cottage with 1,100-feet of shoreline, named Tellina by the Lindberghs, is also for sale, either with the house or separately. It is on 2.84 acres, is 1,529 square feet, has four bedrooms, three baths and was built in 1936. The landscape was originally designed by the Washington, DC-based Oehme, van Sweden, responsible for the landscaping at the Federal Reserve, World War II Memorial and Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. Both main and guest homes have mature gardens, rock walls and open lawns with unobstructed views of the cove and beach landscape.
The Long Island Sound home of historic aviators and celebrities Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh is for sale. The main house is priced at $11.75 million and the guest house priced at $6.3 million. Listing agents are Julie Bauer and Anika Charron of William Pitt Sotheby’s in Darien, Connecticut.
