WW2 - GERMAN ARMY SINGLE DECAL M42 HELMET
Total One Look original combat helmet which ticks all the boxes.
Size 64 ET ( CKL) made helmet with lot no. 3121.
Ice book confirms this as being of Feb/Aug 1943 manufacture and prior to the decal drop.
Configures recorded as, rough grey/green finish with ET decal. Liner components were zinc band with either sheepskin or pig skin leather and with a dome stamp.
This has all this and the liner is in thick pig skin.
There are 2 small black areas of staining which I believe to be blood in the liner .
One at the back and another at the side which has rotted through a small area of the leather which is characteristic of blood,
Decal is good.
Owners name " Hans " painted in Gothic script to the rear of the apron.
Liner has the correct blue ink stamp , ( size ) 57.
Original full length chin strap with steel buckle. This a bit frail but original the helmet.
Pins are tight and have never been removed.
Good " Been There " helmet.
