A very nice M1942 Heer combat helmet with a subtle camouflage finish and camouflage band. This helmet was found several years ago in the area of Metz, France. It is a « ckl64 » with a lot number of « 2861 ». A brush hand applied coating of a brick red and green has been applied giving this helmet a subtle camouflage finish. Retained on the helmet is a thin rubber camouflage foliage band intact. Cracking and some separation is present. Split-pins are intact and tightly still attached. Evidence of a Heer decal is present under the camouflage. Interior is complete and remains in as found condition. The liner has a nice tan color and is pliable. Ink stamped « 57 » for size along the tongue. Drawstring intact. Natural accumulation between the metal liner band and helmet is present. Named along the side to « WARDACKI » which is also etched along the back skirt as well. Leather chinstrap is original to the helmet but partially present. Overall a very nice late-war subtle camouflage combat helmet with the addition of a rare camouflage foliage band.
