2 WWII GERMAN STYLE FALLSCHIRMJAGER OR PARATROOPER

HELMETS. These helmets are restored German Model 36 and Model 38 Paratrooper helmets or collector enhanced/modified examples.
1) LUFTWAFFE DOUBLE DECAL. A Model 1938 Luftwaffe Fallschirmjager helmet in early green paint with Luftwaffe and National Colors decals. The liner is stamped size "57" and the harness is intact. Although very well executed and showing age and oxidation, we feel the helmet, lining, as well as the paint and decals are of post WWII construction. CONDITION: helmet shows reasonably light wear overall with some loss of paint and oxidation particularly at the top of the helmet. The Luftwaffe decal is 95% and the National decal is about 75%. The liner and harness show moderate wear.
2) LUFTWAFFE DOUBLE DECAL. A Model 1936 Luftwaffe Fallschirmjager aluminum parade helmet. This double decal slotted parade helmet, in our opinion, has a post WWII shell, paint and decals. However, we strongly feel that the liner, light colored neoprene pads and liner band appear to be of original mfg. The harness does show significant age but is likely also of post war construction. Liner is size 60. CONDITION: painted finish is approx. 95%. Decals are nearly complete. Liner and harness show age but are solid. (02-16844-1/BF). $1,000-1,400.
