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.

For your consideration is a beautiful WWII German M38 Paratrooper helmet painted in the 6. Fallschirmjager Regiment camouflage scheme. The FJR6 was a unit widely known for fighting in Normandy, with helmets featuring a camo blend of tans and greens, with added wood chips or sawdust. This example is a nice reproduction M38 with textbook FJR6 camo: a base layer of field grey lacquer covered with base tan and heavy wood-chip texture brushed on, as would have been done at the front, with green accents over top. See last two photos for original helmet examples of this scheme. Original paint patterns and shades varied some, so we tried to best replicate the most common appearance associated with the period. The paint is also been aged, along with some aging done to the interior leather liner and straps. Late-war slotted bolts installed. Note, in our opinion this fits more like a size 58, although stamped a 59. This helmet was painted and aged to look totally realistic and would be a great addition to a paratrooper reenactor kit or used for display.

The shell itself is ORIGINAL and a large sz. The shell was then converted by me. The helmet exterior was painted by me and the chicken wire is period European with the opposite twist. The interior is a Bundeswehr liner in a large sz. 60 and the chin straps are also Bundeswehr. This piece is awesome!

Post WW2 German M38 paratrooper Fallschirmjager Helmet Stahlhelm 71 GSG9 This is a helmet I got from my 173rd guy. It is a mystery as to when and whom this helmet was acquired, what I do know is that it was acquired pre-1990. Other than that, there is no verified or documented history of it. I have been investigating this helmet for about the last year or so. I have 2 of these, both from the same vet. One has a strange liner where the stitching of the liner goes back to front North-South, not typically seen on these types of helmets where the liner stitching goes (east-west) and GSG9 straps, this one has a ww2 type straps (look at the pics). This helmet weighs 2.31 lbs. (shell weight) total weight with liner and straps is 2.8 lbs. Helmet has a rolled edge (4mm) with a fold line like WW2-type originals and it is size 71. This could be one of the press-formed shells that were surplus post-war 1948-50 there was a small batch of M40s and a small batch of M38s made post-war that have no stamps in them then there is an ultra high-end reproduction made by Dipko a Czechoslovakian company that made these using the same press machines and the same edge trimming machine they also used Chromium steel plating all surpluses in Poland, they didn’t make many of them and are very expensive and very hard to come by, this could be one of them. At 2.8 lbs as you stated it sounds like it cause by the original M38 and the Czech-made ones are the exact same except the milling line is crisper on the Czech-made version cause they re-engineered it to be electrical vs. A manual as they did at the Eisenhuttenwerk Thale factory during WWII, there was a press form guy and there was a guy cranking the edge trimmer bander like a can opener that’s why when you look at an original and look at the milling line they are not very straight at all late war M38’s are usually hit and miss and in my opinion had corners cut cause they were flying to get helmets out. So my family is from Germany my grandfather’s brother worked for Eisenhuttenwerk and later moved to West Germany and worked in fabrication over there for a while. He then worked as a foreman for Shuberth Werke. If I were you I would take out the liner and the chinstrap of that one and install in high-end liner and Chinstraps. Always see photos for details!
