Czech VZ32 Reissue Luftschutz

[TheGoon]

Hi all, My recent purchase just arrived today. It’s a Czech vz32 reissued for the luftschutz, I’ve been on the look out for one of these for a while now so when I seen this I had to jump on it.

The exterior still retains a lot of its blue paint with some spots showing the original Czech green underneath, the decal has some minor wear but overall looks great. The shell is also dated 1935.

The interior still has all of its original green paint and liner, unfortunately one liner pad was torn at some point but other then that the other pads and chinstrap are in great condition. It has the name Harnisch written in the rear.

Regards, Kyle.

Very nice example.

A good pickup Kyle and an interesting configuration. Those white pads remind me a little of the chrome tanned leather used in most WW1 stahlhelms from 1917 onwards.

Thank you Andy and now that you mention it they really do, possibly they got the idea from those?

Nice Kyle. Don't see this configuration often. Especially nice condition too!
