A Single Decal M42 Kriegsmarine Helmet by Emaillierwerk AG of Fulda

This is a textbook example of a Kriegsmarine helmet. It is crafted of a molybdenum steel (magnetic); with its original apple-green paint on the interior and exterior, with its original sandy aluminum oxide finish on the exterior. It features stamped air vents and a raw edge along the entire helmet, making this a signature M42 style helmet. The interior has its original butterscotch-coloured leather liner, constructed of eight leather panels, each with five ventilation holes, and an additional hole at the top for the drawstring to be fed through. The drawstring itself is constructed of twisted/embroidered white string, and appears to be original to the helmet. The chin strap is constructed of leather that is stained/oiled to a rich black colour, with its original metal hardware, and is securely fastened to the metal frame within the helmet, and wrapped around the front skirt of the helmet. The underside of the skirt on the reverse is stamped “1943” and “EF 62” on the left side for “Emaillierwerk AG of Fulda” and size “62”. On the left of the exterior is a textbook Kriegsmarine decal, consisting of a golden eagle on a black background. The helmet measures 278 mm x 239 mm, and is in near extremely fine condition, with only minor signs of wear. The exterior of the helmet is well preserved, with only minor scrapes and paint transfer from storage. The interior is also well preserved, with the only significant flaw being a small piece of leather missing in the leather liner. The chin strap is also well preserved, without significant cracking in the leather. The decal is light to moderately worn, and remains 50% intact. Overall better than very fine condition.
