HE-43 M42 SD Luft Helmet 
Nice combat example with better than 90% of the rough textured dark blue paint intact. The detailing to the 2nd pattern decal is excellent being about 95% intact. The size 59 liner with the drawstring is intact with some chafing but overall very good and supple, one of the tongues is torn away. The side of the interior of the shell is stamped "NS66" (indicating manufacturer Vereinigte Deutsche Nickelwerke, Schwerte) and "2258" as well the center is dome stamped. The chin strap has been replaced and the original is included along with the 2 wee aluminum rivets. The short strap portion has broke, however the long strap is still intact. Exc++

HE-34 M40 SD Army Helmet 
Fresh in from a NJ Veteran family. This one is painted in the rough texture slate grey paint finish. The exterior is in good shape being free of dents with scuff and wear. This one was there. I would say 98%+ of the finish is intact. The decal does show age and scratches but I would say is 90% intact. The interior has a Q64 stamp and well as what looks like 'IN34S", sorry it's not clear.. The original liner is stamped size 56. The liner is shows wear and some cracks and age. the draw string is missing. The chin strap is broke, it is marked "..ORN ZEY 1943" very hard to make out. An honest very heavy combat helmet.  Exc+

HE-35 M40 SD Luft Camo Helmet 
Purchased put of an old Canadian collection. This one appears to be field painted. Really looks great too! The exterior has a hit just above the decal, not bad but there. The decal remains 70% intact with good details. This one was there. I would say 95%+ of the camo finish is intact. The interior has a Q62 stamp and well as a hard to make out stamp under the field marked "15" to the interior. The interior of the helmet is Luftwaffe grey. The original liner I have searched for a size stamp but to no avail. The liner is shows wear and some cracks and age. the draw string is missing. It appears to have been oiled at some point and the result is it has darkened somewhat. The original chin strap is intact. I see no marking on it. An honest very heavy combat helmet.  Exc+

HE-44 Luftwaffe M35 SD Helmet 
Here's a nice helmet. This one has the factory finish that has been waxed or more likely lacquered at some point. It does show scuffs and wear. The Luft decal is quite original, the tri-colored shield has been painted on. It looks old and crazed but when it was added? Who knows, so I'll say it's a post war addition just to be on the safe side. The exterior is in good shape being free of dents. The interior has a "SE-66" stamp and well as "045". There is also an unreadable dome stamp. The size 68 liner is in good shape, as well the maker marked chin strap is too. Exc

HE-47 M42 Army Helmet Shell 
Here's a bargain shell for the restorer or perhaps display. This one has been post-war repainted in black and I think they repainted right over the decal on the one side, either that or they tried to add a decal and remove it. The interior has a Norwegian replacement liner stamped size 59 as well as "588" into the shell. I can not find a maker stamp on the helmet but it could be hidden with the paint  The done has original paint and is a matte dark green. T chin strap appears to be original with a cut part way through one side. I see no markings on it. Exc

HE-42 Municipal Police Motorcycle Crash Helmet 
Here's a nice example of a hard to find helmet. Constructed of "fiber-helm" with a thick rubber buffer and a leather visor. The body of the helmet is in good shape with some crazing and chipping that has somewhat affected to heavy black lacquer finish to the exterior. There is a bit of black paint overspray on the liner so my guess is that this one was period reissued. The Police eagle to the front is in perfect condition. The sides have the std screened air vents. the reverse neck panel also has 4 ventilation grommets. The original liner is well marked Erel in their familiar silver diamond marked and ink stamped size 56. This helmet is complete with original chin strap.

Vi-4 Infantry Officer Visor 
Ouch!! here's one that's seen better days. Moth eaten and repaired it's still will make for a neat display item. The insignia is of course all original, the interior has some tears and damage. Lastly this was crushed when I got it so I have tried my best to reshape it by fitting it with newspaper etc. and it's pretty good now. The dark reddish-brown colored Vulkanfiber visor is in perfect condition being 100% intact with all the stitching there. The visor underside has that crosshatch pattern that you guys so much love to see. The size 58. The is a diamond shaped moisture shield is lost.
