2 WWII GERMAN STYLE FALLSCHIRMJAGER OR PARATROOPER

HELMETS. These helmets are restored German 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 finely executed, we feel the helmet, lining, as well as the paint and decals are of post WWII construction. CONDITION: helmet shows very light wear overall with some storage abrasions to the paint.
2) LUFTWAFFE SINGLE DECAL. A Model 1938 Luftwaffe Fallschirmjager helmet in a camouflage tan paint over the original color. The tan paint is applied around the decal without covering it. The liner is stamped size "57" and the harness is intact. This example has a wonderful early look with oxidation on the edges and exposed areas on the body of the helmet. It is an exceptionally high quality display piece but we feel it is of post war construction, possibly using some original components. The paint job is exceptional. CONDITION: helmet's painted finish is approx. 85%. Decal is 98%. Liner is torn but complete. Harness is a bit dry. (02-16842-1/BF). $1,000-1,400.
