Hello everyone,

I'm thinking about purchasing this helmet. Is it a good one?

Many thanks,

Dan

Hi, I would not like to say for sure whether this one is good or bad from these images as they are not detailed enough for me. I would ask the seller for some good decal close ups. Leon.

I thought m42 models did not have a rolled edge.

I never spotted the "title" said M42! As you quite rightly point out , this is not an M42 , it is a light weight helmet.

It looks like a good one to me Dan. Todd (helmetone) has one of these.

Leon is right is in an M34 medium duty helmet, not M42. Second line Feldgendarmerie.

Looks good to me, these M34s were also used by security police battalions and often were worn by the police battalions enforcing extermination orders in Poland and other eastern territories.
