For sale here is a great looking WW2 German FJ Helmet. It really is a high quality helmet and is light years beyond other reproductions that i have been around. The outside of the helmet shows remains of a whitewash and is perfectly aged. There are signs of use, wear, and age. The suspension bolts areners and a couple of them are a bit loose.
Theners appear to be brass. The shell of the helmet does have some light surface rust with good legit wear and rust to the folded rim. The wearers right side is stamped ET68 and the back is stamped 05, but i couldn't get it to photo. The liner band is aluminum that shows age and bends. The foam between the leather liner and aluminum band shows age and wear and looks legitimately old.
The leather suspension shows some shrinkage and some surface cracks, but is supple. The leather chin strap shows age, wear, and some seam separation. I feel certain that this is a made to fool helmet, but the leather goods and edge roll quality give it away. However, i do feel that there is some good age and this is probably an early piece.
At any rate, this is a great looking piece that will wear or display very well. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. Please take a look at my other great items!
