Fritz Posted January 14 Posted January 14 An M.42 late war 1944/45 with "Drahtverhau" for attaching camouflage material, size ET68 approx. Leather liner is clearly a modern replacement, original steel liner band rather rusty. I wonder if the paintwork is original, or redone by a previous owner? Opinions please. I am quite sure the wire is original 5 Quote
Gildwiller1918 Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Nice helmet Fritz, hard to say on the paint, the color looks good, and it seems to have uniform wear, I can also see the rust lines from the wire on the exterior of the helmet. Have a nagging feeling though it has been touched up a little just from the pitting on the interior. Large sizes such as this are highly desirable with collectors, and it is getting really hard to find untouched/altered helmets now. 4 Quote
