This helmet has clearly seen much wartime service with the German army displaying chips and scuffs to the paint throughout. The earlier smooth factory paint is visible in places where the later finish has chipped away, traces of an army decal can be seen to the helmets left side. The national colours are also peering through on the right side. No maker mark or numbers present in the interior due to the thick paint. The helmets original liner is still in place with the drawstring tied tight. The soldier has also written 'Reich Obgfr' on the interior skirt of the helmet, all in all a great combat worn helmet.
