WW2 German Helmet Production

[Roger Payne]

Probably a little more unusual in being a para helmet shell. I did entertain thoughts of removing the handles & feet & welding up all of the holes. It would be possible, but in the end I decided to just leave it as it is. I have another original FJ helmet shell that would be a better prospect for restoration, if I ever get around to it.

It still ends up being a restoration and although scarce, this is another story completely. I had heard of people seeing para shells being used as flower pots on Crete...

I was happy with paying just £50 for a reproduction para helmet. The quality is excellent.
