This is a very fine example Heer Austrian Transitional Double Decal Helmet. Very nice exterior paint, with both the standard Heer decal on the left-hand side, and what remains of the national tri-color decal on the right.
The exterior is in fantastic condition, with the Heer decal at about 90%, while the tri-color decal is almost completely gone, except for a few remnants and its silhouette. The holes on both sides, beneath the decals, are where the rivets were that secured the old (WWI) chin strap bales. Most were left in place, but it’s normal to see these missing (removed) when they were transitioned for use in WW2 as new chin strap bales were added to the liner strap.
The liner is 100% on this one, including the string used to tie the individual liner tongues together. The leather is nice and soft, yet has that “been there” look from years of wartime dirt, grime and sweat! The very early chin strap is very unique and quite rare. The metal clip attachment is not one that is commonly found on these, and this one is completely in tact.
The interior rear rim of the helmet shows that this helmet was issued to two different soldiers during the war, one being an NCO.

Luftwaffe M42 Winter Camo Single Decal SD Helmet
SOLD!Here we have an interesting M42 Luftwaffe Single Decal helmet with the remnants of the winter camo still present around the eagle, the rim, and other areas of the exterior. This is not uncommon as the soldier “scrubbed” the camo on/off of the helmet depending on the terrain. Winter camo Luftwaffe helmets are very difficult to find in any condition, and while the white of the camo has been scrubbed from the surface, even having the remnants present makes this a rare find.

M42 German Army (Heer) Combat Helmet — by CKL
SOLD!A nice German Army (Heer) Combat Helmet. The finish is a smooth field-gray with the expected use wear. There are no dents, and no areas on the exterior showing severe paint loss or rust like we sometimes see with these (especially on the top of the helmet). There is what we assume to be a paint scuff on the top of the helmet, approximately 1.5 inch by 2.5 inches…

Heer (Army) Tropical Pith Helmet
SOLD!This WW2 Tropical Pith Helmet is not the nicest example I’ve seen, but it is complete, original, and in better shape than many on the market today. The only notable flaws are the heavily worn leather chinstrap, normal wear to the leather trim around the rim of the helmet except for a small 2-3” chunk missing, and some minor discoloration in areas. The sweatband on the inside is in tact, but has a small section that has either been burned, or saturated with a substance that caused the leather to harden.
