Offered here is the best re-creation of the WWII Fallschirmjager
helmet on the market today. The rubber padding is almost identical
to the boiler foam use by the Germans during WWII.... not the
cheap sponge rubber used by other
suppliers. The aluminum band is the correct thickness as used by
the Germans, 1mm, not the thin Aluminum copies made for the
imported helmets.... some look like heavy duty aluminum foil. The
leather liner is sewn using the correct stitching across the seam
and not butt sewn or zigzag like other copies.
Take a look at an
original liner
to see what I mean; I have one pictured on the web site. The
liner also has the right number of large access holes (4) and the
correct number of the smaller vent holes (8). All the others get
this important detail wrong. The correct stitching and wax cord
is used when sewing the liner to the band; none of my competitor’s
gets that right, I’ve seen them all. With proper aging, not
staining like the others try to do, you could fool the so called
experts. To close, this is the only place you need to go for all
your re-creation liners made to fit all shell sizes from 64 thru
74 original helmets. This is not offered by anyone else on the
market today and most dealers don’t realize that the Germans did
make those size shells.
