M42 Chickwire!

Hello all, I do not know anything about chicken wire on helmets. Is this chicken wire original to this helmet? Thanks.

Not for me.

Doug, is this sort of wire a common fake? Or were there period WWII German helmets with this type of style wire?

[oksnevad_2]

I don`t like it, sorry...

[Logictox]

That is current production chicken wire. Look at the wraps, note it is coated wire. It is not era correct. IMHO

Thank you all very much.

LOTS of chicken wire German lids on CraigsList here stateside & at the flea markets- it's still the hot knockoff going into the summer hunt season......I love messing with the sellers who peddle the obvious fakes- ha!
