No 4: M37 Model with M38 liner Fallschirmjägerhelm (Paratroopers Helmet Normandy): This is an excellent reproduction of a Luftwaffe (Air Force), Fallschirmjager Helmet. It is based on a very rare M37 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 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 at Normandy in June 1944. It has its original luftwaffe blue/grey colour and then has been overpainted in a tan/green colour which has received much field wear in several places. The eagle decal is 95% intact and 80% visible. The owner has has name painted inside the helmet rim - 'Gefr. Stein' . Notice the thick cotton camouflage net, a very common addition during the Normandy campaign. The net is applied via strong string and hangs down to cover the face. A very rusty wire will hold the net away from the face when not required! 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! This helmet would make a superb item in you paratrooper collection. It would also make a great filler till you get a genuine M37 Normandy 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!
