When you buy the helmet, is the color random or is it grey like in the pictures?

There are six different colors pictured, and the color you get is random choice. These are original surplus helmets that were in service for decades.

I just bought this ítem. I need you to send me the largest size you have. If you have to pay more, let me know before sending.

The Helmet shell size is not guaranteed, only the size ink stamp on the liner in the helmet. Also the liners in the helmets run about 2cm in circumference smallet than what they are marked. For instance, a 57cm marked liner will not fit ypur head if your head measures 57cm. I bought two and they were at least 2cm smaller than marked. You will receive a 64 size shell, a 64 size shell will only fit a maximum of a size 57 reproduction German M31 liner, no larger.

We offer many sizes ranging from a 55cm to a 60 cm, they are each listed separately.

Yes it is a real German Helmet. I did read somewhere that the Helmets were used by Scandinavian Military. I would check into that. Still a great collection Piece.

This is a nice helmet from the original mold

The helmet is a nice finnish version of the German sm35. The shape is the same with different liners and an extra hole on the side. The size is 57 cm exactly as stated. No bumps or dents. Much better than the reproductions which tends to be too flat.

Child Size

Not remotely close to 7 1/8 size and more like a child's size.

Real deal

A nice piece to have if you're into WW2. Not appropriate for anything other than display or wearing around for fun as it is heavy and not appropriate for motorcycle/bicycle protection compared to modern protective gear. It may not have been used or produced during WW2 but it is the real deal.

Authenticity?

Nice helmet , don’t like the Shiny studs used for liners . I thought they could of been painted same color as helmet . But my question is ….. should there be some kind of stamp under the skirt? All authentic helmets have some kind of stamp .

Great military Surplus item

Very cool military history piece, however it is too small but one or sizes larger than your current hat size. Other than that great wall hanger for the gun room.

Good but a bit moldy

All in all an excellent preserved helmet, arrives rapidly and safely, just be aware that the liner can come moldy. Understandable is very old. Just be prepared to restore or replace the liner.
