M42 Border Guards Helmet. Size-66.

Here we have an untouched M42 helmet that was reused by Border Guards early post war. They have over painted the helmet, inside and out, in a grey finish and punched two hole in the side for the addition of a flaming bomb insignia used by border guard units. This grey hand painted finish remains over 95% complete.Sorry to say the rear maker stamps are faint but i can see this is a good size 66. The inside has its period WW2 liner and chinstrap. The liner is in clean supple condition with two large size 57 stamps and is named ''Wachschutz'' which i believe translates to ''protection guard'' with the owners initials. The chinstrap again in very nice supple condition but missing its tip to the long section. An interesting lid for sure.
