WW2 German M42 WH helmet complete w/ liner, chinstrap and split pins size 64

Description

Item offered is the original WW2 German M42 helmet with camouflage rubber inner tube band. Complete with a liner, a chinstrap and three split pins. The helmet is a size 64 which fits 57-56 hat sizes. I do believe this is the most exact and high quality restored German M42 helmet available on eBay today. Please see the pics and more details below. More HD pics are also available on demand.
The helmet offered for this auction is the 100% original WW2 German helmet with the makers code “ET64” stamped on the left side of the helmet under the flared rim (maker - Eisenhüttenwerke in Thale) and batch number “2466” impressed into the rear skirt. Not a Spanish, or a post-war German helmet or a recent Chinese replica. The helmet is free of cracks, dents or rust pitting. The helmet shell was carefully examined prior to restoration. The helmet shell was painted in the correct field gray (feldgrau) finish.
The shell is fitted with a reproduction liner that is new but made to exact specifications. The outer band is marked in the same way as the original M31s were. There is a 1941 dated acceptance stamp. The liner, specially created by a professional leather craftsman, is made of the correct grades of calfskin leather and finished to exact original specifications.
The chin strap leather is tanned exactly as originals to get the proper texture and is die-cut for correct sharp edges. All stitching is precisely as originals. The aluminum buckle is stamped from specially made dies. Marked and dated.
The split-pins are exact copies made with specially stamped heads and inset prongs. Identical to originals.
The helmet does not have any decals at the moment however a high quality reproduction WH decal will be added to the left side before shipping. The decal will be appropriately aged to match the outside shell. If you need photos of how it will look, feel free to contact me via the eBay's "contact the seller" link at the top right of the listing.
Please refer to the pics for more details. This is the actual item you will get.
