World War II German M42 helmet, size 66, featuring a rare three-tone camouflage in green, brown, and sand. Manufacturer unidentifiable. Documented provenance from Saint-Lô, acquired directly from the original owner and never before in a collection.
Authentic condition with characteristic patina. Visible traces of insignia. Rivets and liner band have some play. Leather is complete but worn and dry, testifying to its age. Long chin strap with end cut off, short chin strap also severed.
Uncommon and well-preserved camouflage. Historical piece with a beautiful period patina, ideal for a discerning collector seeking authenticity and rarity.
