M36 Model
with M38 liner Heer Fallschirmjägerhelm: This
is a first class reproduction of a Heer (Army),
Fallschirmjager Helmet. It is based on a very rare M36 model
shell, with late pattern helmet bolts. It has been modified
using M38 liner which was common practice in mid-late war
when earlier produced models were pressed into service. Notice
the slots at the front side of the helmet, rear side and the
extra holes for retaining the original liner at the sides
and rear. A very rare item indeed!
This helmet is based on one used at Fallschimjaeger
Training School by the Army Parachute Kompanie and then withdrawn
from service but used again late war. It has its original
Army apple green colour and double decals which are 100% intact.
This helmet represents very light wear and is almost mint
condition! The owner has has name painted inside the helmet
rim - 'M. Freyberg.' and which appears to be a unit sign 'I
Komp.'.
The inner lining is fully intact and again shows
light wear and ageing. It is double marked with liner/shell
sizes and manufacturer. Notice the reinforced grommets on
the outer rim - superb engineering! It is difficult to make
an original looking 'mint' condition helmet than a camouflage
one, so this one really is a good example!
Notice that both decals are protected with varnish,
standard German WW2 practice. Hence why so many helmets with
decals survived intact - it was so difficult to remove them
and this helmet is exactly the same!
This helmet would make a superb item in you
fallschirmjäger collection. It would make a great filler
till you get a genuine M36 helmet which is highly unlikely
as it is thought that only two M36's survived the war!
This item comes in a suitable aged box and a
'send home' label! A great present for the military collector!
