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.

Vintage Chalkware Skull Hand Painted Bank Rare WWII German Helmet Mexico READ. Old piece from an estate. Made of a chalkware or plaster material. Skull wearing a WWII German helmet. There’s a symbol on the helmet we covered up but you can get an idea of what it is in the other pictures. Super eye-catching piece and nearly life-size! Really good condition with just one hole in the side of the helmet. The hole is about the size of a dime. No date on the piece but believe this to be possibly made in the 1970’s. Measures 6.5″ long x 7.5″ wide x 9.5 tall. From a smoke-free home.

It’s a German paratrooper M37 helmet made nowadays of German original M35 helmet from WWII. Pay attention, it’s NOT a genuine M37 helmet. It was made of a genuine restored M35 German helmet!! After restoration work, hand aged and painted. Stamps and two air-vents are repro. The helmet itself is guaranteed 100% original M35. Liner hoop, split pins with washers are original too. M37 was an early version of German Luftwaffe paratrooper helmets used in WWII. Genuine paratrooper helmets cost way too much and not easy to find. Moreover genuine M37 is almost unreal to find, only few ones have remained to our days. Thus this helmet a nice budget variant for collections. BUT please aim to 4-6 weeks!
