Item Description
Original Item: One of a Kind. This is a genuine "Battlefield Dug Up" example of a German WWII M38 Luftwaffe Fallschirmjäger (Paratrooper) Helmet. It was recovered some time after the war . We unfortunately do not know exactly where on the island it was found, But we can say that it does exhibit traces of white snow camouflage paint.
The helmet shell was underground for some time, and now is definitely in "relic" condition, with all of the rigging, paint, decals, etc. missing. The steel has rusted and scaled, and there are areas that have been stabilized with bondo. It still does have 3 of 4 retaining early style spanner bolts present, completely rusted over. We measured it, and it measures approximately about 70cm around the liner holes, so it is probably a size 68-69, which would have fit a 56-57 liner.
German Paratrooper helmets are highly desirable, and they are rare on the market in any condition. This battlefield dug up example really IS a piece of history. This would be a great way to fill that missing spot in your German helmet collection. Ready to display!
