M37 Model German Paratrooper Helmet Medic: Is based on a very rare M37 model shell, but has been modified using M38 liner and of course early pattern spanner bolts. It has the National colour's and second pattern eagle decals. The helmet has its original Luftwaffe Field Grey colour and has been repainted in Cassino tan and finally repainted in Normandy greens. The medic Geneva Red Cross was applied directly onto the Cassino colouring without any white background and was over sprayed to give the impression of a circle! The helmet has well rusted camouflage wire added and the faint 'zig zag' shape can still be seen in the wire. The wire is held together with rusted chicken wire. The shell has several rust spots in places. Notice how the paratrooper has used the M37 slots to help hold the wire in place. 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 ('II/I Major H. Hans'). There is also a helmet acceptance stamp inside the dome of the shell. Notice the rusting to the helmet rim and strap buckles. The straps are also aged yet still very pliable and useable. This helmet would make a superb item in your Luftwaffe Medic Paratrooper collection. This item also comes with an address label stamped '21 DEC 1944' and addressed from an 82'd US Airborne Sergeant to a lady in Washington DC and a suitable aged box! A great item for the German Paratrooper collector.
