Product Information
An exceptional condition Luftwaffe single decal M42 ‘raw edge’ helmet complete with chinstrap. Painted with a factory finish “Feldgrau” colour the helmet retains 100% decal, which I think is a Peiniger. The helmet is in remarkable condition on the outside with very few scuffs. The side skirt is stamped with the maker – ET for Eisenhuttenwerk, Thale. And a size of 64. The rear skirt has the lot Nr of 2017. There is a faint dome stamp in the middle of the inside of the helmet. The liner has been worn and shows signs of leather flaking, but only a small amount. It is size 57, and it is complemented with an original leather unmarked chin strap. The original drawstring is also present. I have had this helmet for over 15 years!
Once in abundance decent helmets that have been unmolested rarely appear on the market today. It is one of the few items of TR that keeps increasing in value. This item is a sound investment and will look fantastic in another collection
