A genuine WW2 untouched BULGARIAN- GERMAN Steel helmet. This is complete with its original liner & chinstrap. It also has its original Double Decals and has been used by Bulgarian Troops attached to the German Army. One decal is the Bulgarian national shield and If you look at the fifth (5) image from the top you can see part of the other decal to the base of the picture. In March 1941 Bulgaria joined the Axis powers and in December 1941 it declared War on Britain and the US. In April 1941 it participated in the German led attack on Yugoslavia & Greece. Some of these special Bulgarian units rounded up certain civilians to be sent to camps. Around 98% of the M36 bulgarian helmets have the single national coloured decal, This is the first I have seen with this double decal in over 50 years of collecting. The helmet has been stored somewhere for many years and the leather liner has been badly eaten by bugs etc but the chinstrap and helmet shell plus the decals are good. The liner could easily be replaced if required. A very rare original wartime helmet.

This is an extremely fine World War II Single Decal Camouflaged M38 Fallschirmjäger Helmet REPLICA that is in excellent condition. Although a replica, this helmet is a real eye catcher that is proper and correct in almost every respect. It is beautifully camouflaged in the tortoise pattern with weathered tan and brown brush applied paint. The shell is fitted with the early three-hole spanner bolts. There is a weathered denazified Luftwaffe decal on the left that has been painted around in a triangular shape. The tan colored leather liner is correctly marked, and the blue leather chinstrap harness are both faithful and accurate renditions of the original. All the harness hardware is functional. This is an exceptionally fine-looking example that suits the bill if you are not looking to spend 12K on an original. A VERY convincing helmet of the type used on Crete and in North Africa in 1942.

Original WWI German M16 Steel Helmet – WWII-Era Reissue – Size 66. This listing is for an original German M16 Stahlhelm helmet from World War I, later reissued during the early 1930s-1940s period. The helmet is size-stamped “66” inside the shell and retains its iconic design with original side lugs, used during WWI for mounting a frontal armor plate. At some point in the early interwar or WWII era, this helmet appears to have been repainted in black, a common practice for reissued equipment. Faint traces of an old decal outline are visible on one side-likely from use by civil, paramilitary, or early military forces during the transitional period. WWI-era German M16 helmet. Interior size stamp: “66”. No liner or chinstrap. Black overpaint from later reissue. Ghost outline of decal visible (not intact). Surface wear, oxidation, and age-appropriate patina throughout. This helmet is offered as-is for historical display and collecting purposes. It has not been cleaned or restored. Please examine all photos closely to assess condition. Important Note: This item is a 100% original military artifact, presented for historical and educational purposes only. It is not intended to promote or endorse any ideology.

Original, untouched, named, WWII German M42 No decal helmet complete with original liner and 1942 dated chinstrap. This unmessed with helmet is a pleasing sight to see. The shell is maker marked, Ckl64 and manufactured by Eisenhutten AG, Thale. Shell size is 64cm. Liner size is stamped 57cm. This size stamp can be faintly seen on the rear leather tongue. There is a dome ink acceptance stamp on the inner shell. The chinstrap is maker marked, which is hard to read by the date can be seen as 1942. The chinstrap has a cut in the center but still holding true. Original liner split pins and liner nicely in place and doesn’t seem to have been ever removed from this helmet. The leather liner has the names of the original owner which I assume is, “Bome”? Original drawstring is present. If you’re looking for a nice unmessed with example, this is it! Wooden stand not included.
