Original WW2 German M42 reissue Helmet. This helmet was reissued at some point during WW2 and given a thick coat of dark green paint to the exterior which there is about 60% left and interior has been overpainted grey, then a dark green on top, has few small dents but nothing serious. The helmet comes with its original liner which is in nice condition. The markings inside the rim of the helmet have been covered by the paint and are unreadable but the shell size is 68 which is rare to find such a big size. I would say the maker is CKL from the shape of the shell.
Overall this a nice original M42 combat helmet which has that been there and done it look about it. Please study pictures for condition.
