Original Item: Only One Available. This wonderful late war Fallschirmjäger helmet retains 95% of its originally applied, dark green, rough texture combat finish. It is in very good condition with no damage or dents. This example was purchased directly from a Veteran’s estate by IMA. We then used it to create a 3D printed version to assist an overseas factory in manufacturing our replica M38 helmets. In creating the 3D copy we did have to remove the liner and reinstall it. Other than that process the helmet has not been altered in anyway and retains 100% authentic WW2 parts.
The interior features a soft, brown leather liner is size 59cm that shows wear and is ripped in some places but all in all solid. It is well marked and features a RB number in stamped ink. It is nicely ink stamped with maker and size markings of the liner (58) and the shell (71) as follows:
Kopfweite: Gr. 59
Stahlhelm: Gr. 71
RB Nr. 0/0250/020 L
Seen between the liner band the liner itself are the complete seven charcoal foam pads; the entire assembly is attached to the shell via four correct wartime original aluminum bolts.
The harness is in very good condition and complete with operational buckle.
The rear of the skirt is stamped with ckl 71.
A fantastic example, with all the correct features and in very good condition!
