Comes with sand glasses/goggles and certificate of authenticity from Military Antiques Museum in California. Not “Germany” import marked, dated 1942 APN. APN is one of the hardest manufacturers to locate for pith helmets. Overall this helmet rates at a solid 95%. Some wool loss and some of the leather trim has deteriorated.

Original WW2 WWII German M 42 Helmet that started as M 35 Africa – Italy. Has camouflage from Africa and then from Italy painted over original M 35 finish. The chin strap has been replaced. Information sent from eBayer Steve. It was never a M 42 helmet One major difference between the M 35 and the latter made M 40 and M42 is the air vents On the M 35 (pic #1) you can see the air vent is made from 2 rivets punched together so it stands out The M 40 and M 42 air vents (pic#2) were punched right out of the helmet shell The camouflage paint was one used in Tunisia and Italy. It could well have began it’s journey in the African theater’ Pictures #3+4 is a helmet my father mailed home and it is a certainty it was worn in Italy by a German soldier Your helmet is a FS64 The FS means it was made by the Emaillerwerke AG company The number 64 is the shell size in centimeters. A M 35 camouflaged helmet is much more desirable than a M 42 helmet so you have a winner by being a M35 and Camouflaged best regards Steve.
