WW2 German paratrooper/fallschirmjager helmet made by CkL71 bno4223

I made several pictures from the item both sides. Second pattern, later war, stamped sheet steel construction, paratrooper helmet retains about 95% of its slightly rough textured field-grey, green paint. All four of the liner retentionner bolts are intact and consist of the later, solid, steel type. The interior of the helmet has a M38 (browned out) leather liner, which is fully intact with a central stitched seam, twelve circular ventilation holes and black rubber padding to the helmet band (late war steel liner ring) and the interior crown. The liner is well marked with black inkstamped sizing, Kopfweite Gr.

71 (Head size 59, {referring to the liner} Shell size 71). The lining also has additional black inkstamps that include the designers name and location, "Baumuster: Heisler Berlin C2", and the manufacturers name and location, Hersteller: F. The reverse interior apron is well marked with stamped serial number, "4223" and the stamped manufacturers code and size, "CKl71", indicating manufacture by Eisen-und Hüttenwerke, AG Thale/Harz, size 71. The helmet comes complete with a blue/grey leather construction, dual "Y" pattern chin harness.

The chin harness is fully intact and the leather is still quite supple. Nice cleaned and cared helmet.
