Re: M42 beaded luftschutz
jim whats the chinstrap made of ,it looks like clear plastic

Re: M42 beaded luftschutz
Although it might not appear original at first glance, clear plastic is fine. I remember when I first saw one many many years ago I thought "surely not!" but once I read up on them I discovered they were real.

Ade is 100% right, as usual! Clear plastic chin straps are found on beaded lids, and gladiator shells. They are often found on one piece SA gladiator helmets as well. Plastic was a lot cheaper than leather I guess.
