Original German M42 Helmet shells that were used by Scandinavian countries after the war.  Some had additional holes drilled into the helmets so we've had these professionaly welded and the surface finish restored.  Then the helmets are painted with custom mixed industrial enamel. Helmets are then fitted with a new reproduction liner, chinstrap and split pins. Painted in authentic Field-Grey color.  These restored helmets are an excellent value.  Although they have been restored, some of these shells may still show some imperfections or blemishes from more than 30 years of service.

• The M1942 Helmet was introduced in late 1942. The steel helmet's edges were no longer required to be rolled under. This produced a sharp edge all around the helmet including a more pronounced overall shape. In an effort to increase the camouflage properties, the smooth texture of the steel helmet’s exterior was replaced by a rough finish.
