German WWII M42 Steel Helmet- Stahlhelm 42 WW2 M1942

Descripción

New Made Item: Simply put this is the very best reproduction M1942 helmet available anywhere. It is exclusive and has been in development for over a year. It was copied from an original. Germany entered WWII with the M-35 helmet as standard issue (WW1 M-16 & M-18 helmets were also in use). In 1942, Due to wartime demands, the M-42 design was put into production because it was significantly quicker to manufacture. The rolled edge of the M-35 shell was eliminated, creating an unfinished edge along the rim. This edge flared out slightly, along the base of the skirt. The elimination of the rolled edge expedited the manufacturing process and reduced the amount of metal used in each helmet, without sacrificing protection. Let us explain precisely why it is the very best M42 reproduction helmet available on the market today: The shell is constructed of 1.8mm steel. The shell is large (size 68) and has the correct M1942 flared edge as well as proper pressed steel ventilation holes. For added authenticity we stamped a German wartime four-digit code at nape and ET68 over ear. The liner comprised of soft tan (cream colored) genuine leather that, just like the originals, will turn brown with age, in correct eight finger configuration with central drawstring and an M1931 aluminum liner band that is maker marked, dated, and size stamped! Liner size can accommodate head sizes 7 1/4 (58cm) up to 7 51/2 (60cm). The all leather chinstrap has a black exterior with tan interior, comes with metal studs, correct aluminum buckle, and connects to the helmet with proper "D" rings. The finish/color is "smooth gray-green" or "field-grau", we worked hard on getting to color correct, which is what typically ruins a reproduction helmet, so hard that we spent 2 months testing formulas to until we got it right. T Review: Perfect replica of the real thing!! - My husband absolutely loves this helmet! Has some weight to it, you can feel the wideness of the brim when it's on your head. 100% top quality material. The fit it's very well done. The attention to detail is great as well. My husband loves that it actually has the exact berlin 1939 replica logo on the inside of it. I would say this is definitely your worth your money. Your loved one will be super ecstatic if you order them this helmet! Review: Cheap price, but high quality. - Great quality reproduction, the paint is definitely scratch resistant from the cover I put on it (hooks are plastic but scratch the paint off another company helmet I have). Also, I have a cover on it that's designed for M35, M40, and M42. When I first put it on, it felt like the cover was too small because it's a very tight fit, especially since the M42 flanges out more at the bottom than previous helmet designs. It just means the cover will fit better and not move around.
