Original 1936-45 Time Perio d World War II. Rare WWII Original Paint. German Luftwaffe Steel Combat Helmet with Liner. Rare in This or ANY Condition.. !! Don’t Miss This One…. ! This very rare, pre-war 1936 dated early WW II War time period, This came straight out of a veteran’s military trunk and has not been altered by me in any way….. It’s an actual.. Been there, done that… GI bring back piece of WWII military history.. This helmet is most definitely from very early WWII and It has the remains of the leather chin strap attached. The liner has a 1936 dated pre-WWII type suspension with the markings “J&J” in several places (last photo). Since the helmet liner had original dirt and grunge from WWII I only cleaned a small portion. I did not remove any of these suspension to see if there were hidden markings if there are any….. The new owner may do that if they wish. The combat helmet was the iconic German “look” from 1936 until 1945 even though it was superseded by war time manufactured helmets. If it doesn’t generate some serious interest I will just keep it…. Note : This rare (1936-45) World War II German combat helmet with Luftwaffe markings is in Good condition, has no markings on it and would be hard to upgrade…. This has been worn in the field, obviously. There are several dings and dents, notably on the top, and wear spots on the outside paint (especially where on the top)…. Pretty good for a helmet that has actually been in the field. I can send you a picture of any view or angle. This marked combat helmet (complete) is not a reproduction, was made in Germany and is absolutely original to the period.
