WW2 German Helmet Production

**Roger Payne** · 12-11-2020 11:41 AM

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.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

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.
