GERMAN WWII M.42 CAMOUFLAGE COMBAT HELMET

A non-decaled camouflage M.42 helmet with a raw edge, it appears to have been painted a deep sand. It has been stored for many years and has suffered from rust bleed. There are some black markings around the lower part of the skull, which would be consistent with having another helmet with a black liner laid on top and heat transmitting the black finish onto the helmet below. Complete with its original lining. All the tongues are present, with one torn and complete with its full-length section of chinstrap, the shorter section and buckle are present, but split from the section that is held to it by a rivet to the buckle. It is impossible to see any markings. On the test, the helmet liner would appear to be 57.
