10/12/21 - This is an original M38 Luftwaffe Paratrooper Helmet from WW2. The helmet is in excellent overall condition with a very nice shell that has some mild paint loss and patina but no dents or significant flaws. The single decal Luftwaffe eagle is about 85% condition. There are late war solid slotted bolts. We think it's possible the bolts and metal liner were removed at one point, or possibly replaced (priced accordingly). The interior shell is serial numbered 77 and maker stamped "ET 66". The interior leather liner is in great condition despite some cracking in the leather as shown. Ink stamped on the interior leather for sizing.
