Description: Up for sale is a nice single decal Fallschirmjager Helmet. The Helmet shell itself is completely original, however the liner components are reproductions. At some point in time the helmet was repainted in a tropical pinkish-tan color, however the original decal still remains visible. The inside of the helmet, under the liner, remains the factory original paint. The helmet is marked ET68 and lot numbered 5029. This is a great beginner helmet for someone who does not have thousands of dollars to spend. I have included a link to the thread where the helmet was discussed, as well as the opinion of Ken N. from Germanhelmetsinc. Overall it is a great original helmet. Try and find another one for this price.

“Hello Andrew:

In my opinion; The paint is very “iffy”. Obviously there are two layers of tan paint in different shades. Could be period but the decal is definitely been liberated or dug-out from beneath the tan paint and quite crudely at that.

The liner is a medium quality reproduction and the straps are poor quality reproductions.

Regards, Ken”
