M42 Helmet - CKL64

An original German WWII M42 steel helmet manufactured by CKL (Eisenhüttenwerk Thale) in shell size 64, bearing lot number 4632. This wartime-produced helmet remains in honest used condition, displaying signs of service and age that contribute to its authentic character.

The shell retains its original M42 configuration with the characteristic rolled-edge design introduced during the later years of the war. Surface wear, patina, and period use are evident throughout, giving the helmet an attractive battlefield-worn appearance.

The helmet is fitted with a chinstrap; however, the strap is unmarked, with no visible manufacturer markings present. Overall, this is a solid and collectible example of a late-war German combat helmet, suitable for collectors seeking an original german helmet.
