Camo M42 SD Heer Helmet - Recent Pickup

[Masonk]

Would display better with a liner in it. I am far from condoning liner replacements... but this has no liner to start with. As long as it is for your viewing pleasure & disclosed if sold...I might consider putting in a liner. This one deserves it

I hadn't planned on putting a liner in it. I'm a very much "leave-as-found" type of collector, but now you have me thinking. If I can find a liner cheap enough, I might consider it. I would likely remove the liner if I ever sold the helmet.

For now, it looks good on one of my display shelves, and you wouldn't even notice the liner isn't intact unless you looked really close to see that the liner pins are missing.

Very nice display. Personally, I would leave it as is. Looks nice how you have it displayed

Well done, a good helmet to find hidden away in a shop! A nice cammo that looks great on your display shelf. Leon.

Great find! It's surprising what you can find in those small out of the way "general" antique shops that don't specialize in militaria. Often an overlooked and reasonably priced treasure can be found.

Thanks, all!

I've had some amazing finds at smaller antique shops. It's hit or miss, though, as for the most part, they way overprice fairly common items.
