M37 Model with M38 liner Fallschirmjägerhelm (Paratroopers Helmet Cassino): This is a first class reproduction Fallschirmjager Helmet. It is based on a very rare M37 model shell, with standard 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 at Monte Cassino. It was originally Luftwaffe field grey but has been re-sprayed in sand (Mediterranean), colour. The decal is a second pattern eagle and is 99.9% intact and the national colour's decal is 100% intact. Both are over-painted to a degree but field wear has revealed them again! The inner lining is worn and aged, again to reflect the period of use and 60+ years of ageing. Notice the rusting to the helmet rim! The owner has added his name 'W. Zhan FJR I' to the helmet lining. Both manufacturer and size markings are present in the lining. This helmet would make a superb item in you fallschirmjäger collection. It would make a great filler till you get a genuine M37 Cassino helmet which is highly unlikely as it is thought that very little M37's survived the war.
