The three piece, stamped, sheet steel construction Luftschutz M38 "Gladiator" style helmet retains a most of its original, smooth, dark satin blue paint. The front center of the helmet has a Luftschutz emblem decal. The black detailed, silver decal features stylized spread wings with a central oak-leaf sprig and a canted swastika positioned below a scripted banner, "Luftschutz". The helmet has two groups of seven "salt & pepper" ventilation holes to either side of the crown. There is a small dent to the left side you can find using your fingers or turning it just so in the sun. All three of the small, flat headed, liner retaining rivets are intact. The helmet has an embossed, horizontal, beaded rim between the crown and the visor/neck guard. The visor/neck guard has a semi-circular "ear" cut-out and a brazed vertical seam to either side. Stamped to the reverse is "RL2 39/11". Complete original liner and chinstrap. It is ink stamped Size 55 to the reverse. Nicely marked example.
