Late War Et71 M38 German Ww2 Paratrooper Helmet Aged Aluminum Bolts

M38 ET71 PARATROOPER LATE WAR IN TEXTURED LUFTWAFFE PAINT + CAMO WIRE. (PLEASE CONTINUE TO SCROLL DOWN TO SEE ALL 20 DETAILED PHOTOS). I have waited many years to find a suitable replacement for those garbage reproduction paratrooper shells coming out of China and India and now have finally found something truly worthy of restoration. The Chinese garbage always has too abrupt of an uptick or too angular of a slope as you near the front of the edge profile line. These are much more subtle and historically accurate and appears almost flat like a salad bowl and exact as they should.

This restoration is a copy of an original late war no decal paratrooper helmet I have in my personal collection. It feature a nice dark feld blau texture paint finish with aged aluminum slotted retaining bolts and a rich darkened leather liner with the proper stitching.

I then fitted it all with a thick aged wire camo net to give it a bit of added character. The wire came from a very old spool I picked up at a local farmer's sale many years ago so it's natually already aged in fact with a nice smooth brown patina. The size is marked and is a large ET71 and so will fit 85% of modern heads of today for re-acting purposes. I hope you like my work!! Germany, Austria, Italy and Polan d.

Picking helmets and other German collectibles is just a hobby of mine and has nothing to do with my main business which is in home renovations.
