M38 Model German Paratrooper Helmet Normandy Medic: Is based on a standard M38 model shell, but has the early pattern spanner bolts. It has the second pattern eagle decal. This is one of the best German Paratrooper Medic helmets out there! The helmet has its original Luftwaffe apple green colour and has been repainted in Normandy greens and browns using the addition of sand. The medic Geneva Red Cross was applied directly onto the camo colouring. Notice how the colour's are very subtle, this reflects a true aged helmet, many modern reproductions have very garish and new looking schemes! The cross has been painted using 1940's original paint! The shell has several rust spots in places mainly around the rims edge giving a true authentic feel. The eagle has been painted round but is very dark in places. The helmet bolts do not have the sand any longer as this has worn off. The inner lining is very well maintained yet aged, again to reflect the period of use and 60+ years of ageing. The lining rubber is black/grey to reflect a typical M38 lining. There are two faded stamps in the liner leather. The helmet shell is marked with the owners rank and name ('Major Hans XXXX' where X represents an unknown character!). There is also a helmet acceptance stamp inside the dome of the shell. Notice the rusting and ageing to the helmet rim, straps and buckles. The straps are superbly aged yet still very pliable and useable and notice the wear to the leather lining rim! This helmet would make a superb item in your Luftwaffe Medic Paratrooper collection. This item also comes with an address label stamped '21 DEC 1944' and addressed from an 82'd US Airborne Sergeant to a lady in Washington DC and a suitable aged box! A great item for the German Paratrooper collector.
