Paratrooper Helmet

Hi guys this came with a few helmets
I’m putting these under what not to wear!!!
What really interests me is the shell has this facade of brown age, what is that?
Who makes these?
Thoughts.

Yes, I agree. All artificially aged with some kind of stain or dye. Basically the same process used in model building to make the figures and equipment look aged. Bob

Thanks Bob!

Thanks Bob 👍. At least it's easy to spot these 2 helmets were artificially aged.

The net attached to the M38 Fallschirmjager is East German in origin

I've seen a great deal of these type of fakes coming out of Eastern Europe.

Horrible!

I like that they tossed a bunch of dust on the helmet, they must have been cleaning the entire house into a bowl just to make this look convincing!
