And Heer is what makes this double decal Fallschirmjager sooooo special. And rare. It is a Heer double decal M38 Fallschirmjager helmet. (that is why I kept saying "Heer" all the time instead of "here"....oh the irony and comedy...it never ends )
Only 5 of these very early Luftwaffe Fallschirmjager helmets are known to exist. All have the same matching lot number, similar to the SS M35 ET with the Fat Runes decal. A big thank you to author and historian Eric Queen for passing this along and allowing me to be the next custodian of this one, and my current Holy Grail. I never dreamed the day would come....

Yup. Today was a great helmet day.

Wow. I wish FedEx would bring me stuff like that!

Doug that Army M38 is just awesome, I know you've been looking for one for a long time. Helmets like that sometimes make me want to cash in my whole collection to get one outrageous lid and then start over again. Great score
