M37 Model Fallschirmjägerhelm (Paratrooper Helmet) Waffen SS: Is based on a very rare M37 model shell, but has been modified using M38 liner and of course early pattern spanner bolts. What makes this helmet even more impressive is that it has the Waffen SS decal and not the Luftwaffe or Army one. This helmet belonged to a member of the Waffen SS Fallschirmjager Battalion 500/600. This battalion fought in Yugoslavia, Albania, Lithuania, Courland and Memel and mainly eastern Europe. Taking part in the attempted capture of Tito and the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes. The helmet comes with the camouflage paintwork and 100% decal visibility and 75% of the decal still present. Notice that the helmet was first painted apple green, then overpainted in white for winter conditions and finally painted in green, brown and tan spray patterns, very common for Normandy and European campaigns. The inner lining is very well maintained yet aged, again to reflect the period of use and 60+ years of ageing. The lining rubber is black/grey to reflect a typical M38 lining. There are two faded stamps in the liner leather. The helmet shell is marked with the owners rank and name (Gefr. Hans I/II), from a former unit. There is also a helmet acceptance stamp inside the dome of the shell! This helmet would make a superb item in your Waffen SS Battalion 500/600 Fallschirmjäger collection. This item also comes with an address label stamped Jan 1945 and addressed from an 82'd US Airborne Sergeant to a lady in Washington DC and a suitable aged box! A great present for the military collector!
