      M42 chicken wire helmet

      By Rakkasan187 · Posted

      Not a fan of the chicken wire. This in my opinion was added post war as the appearance of the condition of the wire does not match the aging of the helmet. Chicken wire will rust and age when exposed to the elements.    Otherwise it looks like a fairly decent helmet   Just my thoughts   Leigh

      yes fanatic, it is mine. being cut off on u.s. militaria forum i put it here to get more comments. there are no stampings on the ear or neck guards, but there is a date on the liner band which appears to be 1942 0r 43. last number a bit hard to see. it is the wire i am concerned about.

      Further discussion of this helmet was locked in the US Forum due to no provenance to a soldier as a "Bring Back" Spoil of War.   The discussion can be continue here.   I will add that much better and clearer photos are needed to see any stamps in the rim to properly ID and assess the helmet   https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/409901-who-said-there-is-no-more/   Leigh

      Is this a luftwaffe officer?

      Thanks, this is the look I wanted to describe !   Maybe it's just a side note, but let me add that the collar badge is for non-combatant officers.   This type is worn by officers in the legal and accounting departments.

      He's an NCO.   I judged by the silver lines on his collar and epaulettes.   If he were commissioned officer, his cap chin strap and collar insignia trim would be silver.

      Wasn’t this helmet just posted by another member? I believe it’s authenticity was decided there.
