here is one of my specialest items in my Collection, a M42 that was used in WW2 by the Luftwaffe and Postwar it was used from the Police
the 3 rivetholes were welded, but the complete rough blue colour and the owners name (from the wearer from the helmet in WW2)were just overpainted
The name that was overpainted called Mauser like the manufacturer of the K98 rifles
the Lot is CKL68 51 and a ner liner was put in
The chinstrap fixed on sweated bails like in the M1 Shells and the chinstrap was painted black
I think it was the original chinstrap from WW2 but im not an expert on this field of Knowledge
Im thankful for all comments and ideas
Best regards,
Bavarian
