Reissue M18 Si62 Army Helmet

Germany > German Empire > Headgear >

Nice stamped sheet steel construction undented M18 helmet that has been period repainted. I say that because the exterior is one tone darker than the interior. It retains about 95% of its field green paint. all three liner retaining rivets and both ventilation lugs intact. The helmet has been reissued with a M31 liner. The leather is dry and 3 fingers are broke off. There is a small burn hole I show. It shows wear and chaffing with a lost draw string. The chin strap is nicely marked. The side is stamped "Si62" indicating Eisenhuette Silesia and the size.
