WH (Heer) M42 SD Combat Helmet
Wehrmacht (Heer) M42 Single Decal Combat Helmet (Stahlhelm M42). The stamped sheet steel construction M42 helmet retains most of its rough textured, field-grey paint. The paint shows normal wear and the left side of the helmet has a standard Heeres decal which is retained for about 95%. All three liner retaining rivets are intact. The interior of the helmet has a M31 leather liner. The liner is a large size '58' and complete with original liner drawstring. The leather is in good condition. The shell is marked with maker and size 'ckl66' which indicates production by the company 'Eisen-und Hüttenwerke, AG' in Thale/Harz. The reverse interior neck guard apron has a stamped serial number. Due to the thick paint the maker and serial number are hard to read. The helmet is complete with its original leather chinstrap, the chinstrap is nicely RB.Nr. marked and dated 1944. Nice and honest original M42 combat helmet in very good condition!
