WWII German M38 Paratrooper Normandy Camo Helmet
This German M38 Paratrooper Normandy camo helmet was extremely well made in the 1990s by a Czech company using machines from WWII. The camo paint is mostly green and tan with some sand mix. The shell shows artificial age, wear, and rust. The inside of back of shell is stamped "CKL71" over "3892". The rim is nicely crimped, The leather liner has faint ink marker marks and in spite of the faux wear to leather, it is still quite supple and soft to the touch. The gray leather chinstrap is functional and and snaps are marked PRYM 41. The overall look of this helmet is done so well from the markings, paint colors, leather quality, gauge of steel shell, added age, patina and wear. This line of helmets have become collectable in their own right. It is a museum quality post war helmet that is great for affordable display and research purposes and is one of best examples of its kind.
