M 42 Heer

[lebus12]

Hello!
I can buy this helmet but I don't like the position of insignias...

Inside, perhaps blood

Many thanks friends!

If you don't like the position of the decals than don't buy it , life can be simple ;-)

Vet or post war applied insignia if original , can you post a close-up.

It's not a vet found

[ObKrieger]

It's a plain M42 that a vet or early postwar dealer put decals on. If the decals are original, then it might be worth picking up cheap just as an oddity.

I once saw a helmet like this that had about 12 Heer decals on it

The price is 550 €. Found last year, so bad condition inside.

Too high.

The decals look original and period applied, probably by the veteran who captured it. I can't make out the markings on the rear skirt, I would guess ET? No blood on the liner, just rotting from poor storage. I personally wouldn't buy this one, not very desirable or collectible in my opinion. You can buy an original M42 SD for that price

[lebus12]

No it is one CKL, size 64 lot 4154. It's not coming from a vet.

[Sir Payne]

CKL and ET are the same manufacturer, these look like ET style decals which is why I asked. If not a vet piece, where is it from?

We don't know, buyed on a French site some years ago.
