M42 Beaded Luftschutz Combat Police Helmet - Reverse Decal

[helmet2id]

Here is my other Beaded Combat Luftschutz Police Helmet with reverse decals. It is an M42 NS 66, with a lot # that I think is 0010, but it is hard to read. It has a bordered Police Eagle and a late war cloth liner with clear plastic chinstrap. It looks like it is green, but in hand it is clearly L/S dark blue. As was common in late war production, the paint is very thin and the helmet has an overall light surface rust patina. Decaled beaded M42 L/S shells are relatively rare, with Police decals very rare, and with reverse decals, almost never seen. I hope you like it. Jim G.
