World War II German Helmets - Get the Best Originals Here

This is an absolutely beautiful extremely Rare Original M18 Transitional Kriegsmarine German Helmet. Transitional Kriegsmarine helmets are extremely rare. Many experts consider the Kriegsmarine, the most rare, even when compared to Waffen SS helmets. This fact, coupled with the fact that this is a Transitional M18, this helmet is extremely rare.   I have searched all over the internet for a Transitional M18 Kriegsmarine helmet and could not locate one.   I challenge you to Google it and see what you find.  This helmet is complete with the liner and chin strap. This Kriegsmarine helmet also has the rough texture which was typical of a field applied paint during the war.  You can see in areas the original Field gray/green paint as well. It is clear that this helmet saw extended field use. 

The Kriegsmarine Eagle decal is roughly 50% and much of the Gold flake that is typical of Kriegsmarine is still present. The decal is snuggled nicely into the rough texture indicating that it is clearly a period decal and is totally authentic. The helmet also has the correct period M31 liner and has not been tampered with. The leather in the liner is fairly pliable and overall in very good condition. The chin strap has a maker mark but it is not clear due to wear. I guarantee that this is an authentic period chin strap. The chin strap is in very good condition, but a little dry, which is very typical of a 60+ year old chin strap. All of the rivets are intact, tight and have not been removed. The rivets are the correct brass coated as well. I cannot locate the manufacturers stamp due to the rough texture paint. The liner is size 55, and I believe that the shell is most likely a 64 based on the lugs. This is a fantastic authentic Kriegsmarine helmet that clearly saw action during World War II.  This rare German Helmet will make a terrific addition to your collection.
