Reproduction WW2 German Army M42 STEEL HELMET with Leather Liner & Chin Strap Absolutely superb repro M42 German Helmet (Stahlhelm) and liner. The M42 Helmet was introduced on the 6th July, 1942, and was the last time German Helmets were upgraded during the war. They maintained much of the design of the M40 Helmets, but does not feature the rolled edge of it's predecessor - this was to save both time and material during manufacture. These top quality reproductions are made from a tough steel, 1.6mm like the originals. They have all the correct fittings, and have a superb repro leather liner, with a leather drawstring and chin strap already fitted. We had them made in two different pot sizes allowing us to fit different liners, giving us sizes from 56-63cm! Top quality M42 Helmets of the German Heer, the best repro on the market for the money!
