World War II German Helmets - Get the Best Originals Here

This is one of the more intriguing helmets that I have encountered.   This M1942 Single Decal Heer was possibly worn by a Waffen SS Norwegian or Dutch Volunteer.   On the right inside of the helmet, there is a very distinctive Nordic Rune symbol skillfully etched into the helmet.  The Rune symbol etching is clearly period done.   The Rune is also known as the 'Wolfsangel' symbol.   I have opinions from several experts and they agree that there is a distinct possibility that a Waffen SS Volunteer Trooper was issued this helmet.   It was common practice for Waffen SS volunteers to be issued whatever was available at the time.   The 'Wolfsangel' symbol was also used by the 2nd SS Panzer Division.   One thing for sure, is that this symbol in the helmet is clearly the Nordic Rune, 'Wolfsangel'.   Now, why this is present in this helmet will never be for certain.

This M1942 Heer has not been altered and is guaranteed to be 100% authentic.   The helmet retains most of the Original Field Green finish.  The Heer Eagle decal is nicely snuggled into the texture of the helmet, and is close to 100% intact.   The decal is nicely toned as well.  This M1942 Heer Single Decal German Helmet was manufactured by the Sachsische Emaillier firm in Lauter, Germany.   The maker stamp, hkp 66 is clearly visible in the correct area in the back inside of the helmet, and indicates a nice size 66.  The production run number, 1278 is nicely stamped as well. 

The only drawback to this beautiful helmet is the leather liner had to be removed.  The helmet is also missing the chinstrap. The Veteran that brought this helmet back applied some sort of goop to 'preserve' it and ruined the liner.   This could easily be remedied by putting in a correct size period liner, which are available in the $150 range.   The value of this helmet could easily approach $800-$1,000 with a good liner.   The paint and decal are in fantastic condition, and this helmet will make a very nice display piece.    The Aluminum liner band is still with the helmet as are the rivets and pins.  The liner band has the correct manufacturer stamp, Schuberth-Werke Braunschweig 1940.      

This M1942 German Helmet is a rare and unusual find and would make a great addition to your collection.
