OVERVIEW
WAREHOUSE FIND! These excellent reproductions of the German M35 Stahlhelm (steel helmet) were left over from a movie production run and unused because they are all small (size 6-7/8). This style of helmet originated during World War I and was kept in service up to 1992.
These are fully wearable, real helmets made like the originals. The shell is constructed of 1.8mm thick steel, exactly the same thickness used by the Germans in WWII, so the helmet is as heavy and as solid as an original. The shell has the correct classic rolled edge and proper hollow rivet ventilation holes. The liner is made of tan genuine leather that, just like the originals, will turn brown with age, in the period-accurate eight finger configuration with central drawstring. The all leather chinstrap has a black exterior with tan interior, comes with metal studs, correct aluminum buckle, and connects to the helmet with proper “D” rings.
If your noggin is bigger than small, this helmet makes an excellent display piece because it’s made exactly like the originals.
