HAND SELECTED 100% ORIGINAL GERMAN WW2 PRODUCED HELMET SHELLS WITH NO CRACKS, DENTS OR HEAT DISTORTIONS OF ANY KIND
DUE TO WORLDWIDE SHORTAGES OF MINT SIZES 66 AND 68 SHELLS I AM NO LONGER OFFERING PLAIN BARE UNRESTORED SHELLS FOR SALE ON THEIR OWN IN THESE LARGER SIZES.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ANY OF THE SHELLS FROM THE LIST BELOW THEY MUST BE FULLY RESTORED INCLUDING LINER SYSTEM, FACTORY SPEC. PAINT, DECALS AND OPTIONAL CHINSTRAP. AGING CAN BE FROM FACTORY FRESH TO BATTLE HARDENED DEPENDING ON THE LOOK YOU'RE AFTER.
MY APOLOGIES AS I KNOW IT'S CAN BE FRUSTRATING SINCE I AM OFTEN SOLD OUT OF ORIGINAL SHELLS (THEY GO FAST) HOWEVER IF YOU YOURSELF HAVE A SHELL YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO PROFESSIONALLY RESTORE IT I WOULD BE GLAD TO DO SO. I CAN TAKE CARE OF THE LINER, CHINSTRAP, DECALS, PAINT AND PINS ON MY END IF YOU DON'T HAVE THOSE.
OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO I HAVE INTRODUCED A NEW HELMET CATEGORY CALLED A TRIBUTE RESTORATION . THESE HELMETS HAVE SS OR KRIEGSMARINE MATCHING REAR LOT NUMBERS AND REPRESENT ONLY ABOUT 1% OF PRODUCTION AND ARE THEREFORE QUITE RARE.

GERMAN HELMET FACTORY PRODUCTION CODES
(Every original German helmet produced from 1935 to 45 had two factory stampings punched into the side and rear or both in the rear. The alpha numeric number refers to the factory location and the inside metric circumference in centimeters. The rear lot number refers to the production run and was used as a quality control measure. The font styles used at each factory were slightly different but highly consistent throughout the war and so fakes or reproductions will either not have these numbers at all or they will use the wrong font style or letter spacing and so are easily identified as post war made.)
