Catalog
Our WW2 German Helmet category contains a mix of helmets from all branches of the German military in WW2, including Kriegsmarine, Heer (army), Luftwaffe (air force), Luftschutz and more. German Helmets have always been an desired WWII Collectible for collectors to showcase. With so many helmet styles produced by Germany in WW2, such as the M42 German Heer Helmet, which was the last wartime upgrade to the standard helmet in 1942, some collectors choose to focus only on collecting helmets! Caution should be taken when considering collecting these items since there are a great deal of reproductions on the market today, some using original helmets but reproduction decals and paint. Check back often as our private collection is constantly growing, thanks to the contributions of our wonderful visitors!

Luftwaffe M42 SD Camo Helmet
$2,600.00This is a smokin’ nice Single Decal M1942 Luftwaffe Camouflage helmet. Tones of light and dark greens, browns and a lighter beige appear to have been applied either by brush or perhaps even by hand. Thicker in some places than in others. The helmet paint shows the normal dings from use, but also texture from the paint application(s). The paint shows signs of being scrubbed; removal of one camo application for another camo applications for different environments…

Decal is 98%. Paint has average scratching and scuffs.

Kriegsmarine Administration Official’s White Pith Helmet
SOLD!The World War 2 German Kriegsmarine (German Navy) Administration Official’s Pith Helmet is perhaps one of the rarest of all Pith Helmets. This particular example shows signs of strong use, but is complete and in tact, with all of the expected parts accessories, including the original large, silver washed, die stamped alloy construction national eagle. The eagle is in superb condition, and is firmly attached with three prongs that are clearly visible on the interior of the helmet (as expected)…

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.

Named Luftschutz Gladiator Helmet
SOLD!Some of the most undervalued helmets in our opinion are these Luftschutz Gladiator Helmets. They’re some of the neatest looking helmets, with a decal that displays very well on the bookshelf.

Luftwaffe M35 Helmet – Reissue (former DD reissued as SD) with Rare Huber Jordan & Körner Decal
SOLD!This is quite a unique helmet in several ways. It started it’s life as a double-decal M35 helmet, and was period repainted (possibly camo paint) with the scarce Huber Jordan & Körner replacement Luftwaffe decal applied over the new paint. The decal in itself is a real hard one to come by, and with the soldier’s name applied to the tape on the inside only makes this one more special!

M40 Camo Helmet
SOLD!Here’s a real looker! A nice M40 camo helmet with a nice, clean pattern. We all know camo was applied uniquely with each helmet, not factory applied, so close inspection and good judgment is always in order when reviewing these. This one is no exception. It shows good, honest and uniform wear throughout, with no evidence of artificial aging or tooling that we see on the reproductions…

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.

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…
