 HE-43 M42 SD Luft
Helmet Nice combat example with better than 90% +of the
rough textured dark blue paint intact. The detailing to the 2nd pattern
decal is
excellent being about 95% intact. The size 59 liner with the drawstring is
intact with some chafing but overall very good and supple, one of the
tongues is torn away. The side of the interior of the shell is stamped "NS66" (indicating manufacturer Vereinigte Deutsche Nickelwerke, Schwerte) and "2258" as well the
center is dome stamped. The chin strap has been replaced and the original
is included along with the 2 wee aluminum rivets. The short strap portion
has broke, however the long strap is still intact. Exc++ $850

 HE-34 M40 SD Army
Helmet
Fresh in from a NJ Veteran family. This one
is painted in the rough texture slate grey paint finish. The exterior
is in good shape being free of dents with scuff and wear. This one
was there. I would say 98%+ of the finish is intact. The decal does
show age and scratches but I would say is 90% intact. The interior has a Q64
stamp and well as
what looks like 'IN34S", sorry it's not clear.. The original
liner is stamped size 56.
The liner is shows wear and some cracks and age. the draw string is missing. The
chin strap is broke, it is marked "..ORN ZEY 1943" very
hard to make out. An honest very heavy combat
helmet. Exc+
$675
 HE-35 M40 SD Luft Camo
Helmet Purchased put of an old Canadian
collection. This one appears to be field painted. Really looks great
too! The exterior has a hit just above the decal, not bad but there.
The decal remains 70% intact with good details. This one was
there. I would say 95%+ of the camo finish
is intact.
The interior has a Q62 stamp and well as a hard to make out
stamp under the field marked "15" to the interior. The interior of
the helmet is Luftwaffe grey. The original liner I have searched for
a size
stamp but to no avail. The liner is shows wear and some cracks and
age. the draw string is missing. It appears to have
been oiled at some point and the result is it has darkened
somewhat. The original chin strap is intact. I see no marking on it.
An honest very heavy combat
helmet. Exc+ $1895 HE-54 Beauty M38 Luftshutz
Helmet Pristine three piece stamped steel shell with
99.9% of original dark blue paint with just the odd scratch. Perfect
decal. Correct set of 4 "salt and pepper" style air vents. Original
umessed with leather liner it intact along with the draw string, it is ink
stamped "58" and has the correct cork spacers. Chin strap is also
intact. This helmet is nicely finished to the
interior with both a unit decal and manufacturers mark to the shell. This
helmet is for the fussy guy who never wants to have to upgrade. NM $395

 HE-42 Municipal Police Motorcycle Crash
Helmet
Here's a nice example of a hard to find helmet. Constructed of "fiber-helm"
with a thick rubber buffer and a leather visor. The body of the helmet is
in good shape with some crazing and chipping that has somewhat affected to
heavy black lacquer finish to the exterior. There is a bit of black paint
overspray on the liner so my guess is that this one was period reissued. The Police eagle to the front is in perfect
condition. The sides have the std screened air vents. the reverse neck
panel also has 4 ventilation grommets. The original liner is well
marked Erel in their familiar silver diamond marked and ink stamped size
