The German M-35 steel helmet was modified in 1942 to increase production. The turned out, unrolled edge became the defining feature of the classic M-42 German stahlhelm. The original field gray and decals of the M-42 didn't last long in the field, as troops adjusted to local conditions by camouflaging their helmets. During the Battle of the Bulge, German troops often painted their helmets white, which quickly took on a worn appearance from battle use. This German Army WW2 SNOW CAMO PAINTED M-42 STAHLHELM Steel COMBAT HELMET is in good condition, with moderate overall patina, weathering, and age wear to the exterior finish, missing the interior leather liner, and with moderate to heavy age patina evident inside (ALL pictured). This helmet is just salty enough to know it's "been there". Otherwise, it's in fine shape, with absolutely no dents, cracking, or other damage to the steel shell. Most interestingly, the helmet boasts a white snow camouflage painted exterior finish, and was almost certainly worn in the Battle of the Bulge. It's named inside to a soldier "Dahn" in classic German lettering, and the name is marked in white paint that matches the exterior. It features the distinctive M-42 unrolled edge, and is complete with the original liner and chinstraps metal interior mounts. We guarantee this helmet to be 100% original from
