Re: HKP66 M43 Luftwaffe helmet - amazing condition!
Could you post a better shot of the liner please?

Re: HKP66 M43 Luftwaffe helmet - amazing condition!
It is an M42 by the way, there is no such thing as an M43.

Re: HKP66 M43 Luftwaffe helmet - amazing condition!
M42 is correct, sometimes I get mixed up with field caps & uniforms!!!!!!!!!!!! d'oh!!

Re: HKP66 M43 Luftwaffe helmet - amazing condition!
I hate to say it but I am concerned that the liner is a reproduction.
Is there stitching running down the finger where the ends of the liner meet? I can't tell from the photos. It looks like there isn't?

Re: HKP66 M43 Luftwaffe helmet - amazing condition!
There is stitching at that point - its just that the two sections butt up and the stitching is on the inside ( if I am explaining myself ) so not exposed.
It did come from a reputable source - germanwarhelmet.com - where it is #305 on sold page 1.
I'm pretty comfortable with it - I know pictures cant give a "feel" but it does look to good to be true at first glance.

That was my only concern. It looks like a really nice helmet, congrats!
I am still on the hunt for my first Luftwaffe helmet, but I am having trouble finding an NS that I can afford!

Re: HKP66 M43 Luftwaffe helmet - amazing condition!
I'm thinking the same as Mo, the liner looks like its has been "brushed" to remove the treated tanning side, and i would think that the loose pins are a result of a replacement

Would it hurt too much to say it only cost $480 Australian including shipping??
Stop me from smiling - it's starting to hurt!
Cheers, Dan
