M-42 CKL 64 helmet In 1963 my dad found a add in Field and Stream Magazine for this helmet in England. Got a money order for a whole Nine US dollars including shipping. Helmet has been repainted and Repo decaled I have never seen a repo Heer Adler quite like this one. There is a decal under it I have had never had the heart to look. This paint is now well over fifty years. timothy

Hi
Very beautiful liner. That is a very thick layer of paint, the numbers all almost difficult to read.

That' correct Rob Norway Surplus didn't hit the market until 10 year or more later really not until late 70' when Norway released a lot of the left over German WW2 helmets. This helmet was purchased early fall of 1963 there wern't any Norweign ones to buy. Your asumption is correct. timothy
