M37 Model
with M38 liner Fallschirmjägerhelm (Paratroopers Helmet)
Medical Orderly Africa Korps & Belgium: This
is a first class reproduction of a Luftwaffe
(Air Force), Medical Orderly Fallschirmjager Helmet. It is
based on a very rare M37 model shell, with early 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 side of the
helmet and the extra holes for retaining the original liner
at the sides and rear.
This helmet is based on one used intially in
Europe (Field Grey), then Tunisia (overpainted sand) and finally
in Belgium (White), during the 'Battle of the Bulge'.
The decals are 50% intact and the eagle is invisible
while the national colours are 50% visible. Notice where the
eagle has been painted over, while the national colours have
been overpainted by the Africa Korp sand and then white paint.
The owner has has name painted inside the helmet rim - 'J.
Muller' . Notice the goggles which also come with this helmet,
they are WW2 Swiss design, are marked 'FAEC CHIASSO' and were
used mainly by the Gebirgsjäger.
Check out the ageing to this helmet, it is
superb, the liner has the look and feel of a 60+ year old
field used helmet as has the shell and chinstraps.
This helmet would make a superb item in you
paratrooper collection. It would also make a great filler
till you get a genuine M37 Africa Korps/Battle of the Bulge
Medic helmet which is highly unlikely as very few M37's survived
the war!
This item comes in a suitable aged box and a
'send home' label! A great present for the military collector!
