Yes indeed it is, and in unissued condition. It is an excellent helmet! Jim G.

WOW! A stunner. Does it come with the dinner coupon?

Any idea what the markings are and/or mean? Can't quite figure them out or read them. Any idea where I might be able to get a chin strap? Even a blind pig gets a truffle once in a while. Got a clue on value as it is? Doug

Beautiful unissued M42. Keep it safe so some numbskull doesn't slap some fake SS decal on it as what happens to so many nice no decal M42's.

I need one just like this. Very good lid.

Yeah. Know exactly what you mean. Had one of those half weight, made in the early 30's M18s in blue with a really nice Luftschutz decal on the front. This jerk wanted it to respray it black and stick "original" SS decals on it. I took and sold it to a really big Luftschutz collector. Yeah, I got a little less for it but I am all about collector and collection integrity plus advancing the knowledge base for all of us. Just might keep this one as it fits my fat head and my boy's. I kept the DDSS helmet too. Got near nothing in them and the outfit that pays me prints all the money they need. Checked out the chinstrap on the Collectors Guild. I trust that guy. Doug
