Fantastic M38 German paratrooper helmet with a period time applied wire. The wire helmet to attach camo material to the helmet.

This particular helmet was published in "Fallschirmjäger, Volume 1" by Roly Pickering.

Typical helmet shell with an "ET68" maker and size stamp to the side.

Liner: Soft leather. Clear of wear. No rips.
Markings: "Kopfweite 57" size marked and "Stahlhelm Gr.68" shell size marked.  The pads are complete however not too soft anymore. 

The screws look unopened. 
Chin straps: Soft leather 2nd pattern chin straps. Signs of wear and age. 

Paint: Clear signs of wear. Scratches and light rust. Overall good condition. 
Decal: About 65-70%. Signs of wear

A fantastic helmet in good condition 2. Nice patina. The owner wrote his name "Fretar" (?) and some information on his unit "III. Zug" (?) to the liner.
