Refurbished Original Helmets
Page 2
The helmets under this heading are all 100-percent original helmet shells carefully chosen and then very professionally refurbished by a gentleman whom I would refer to as a Stalhelm-artist extraordinaire!. This man has studied the German helmet for many years and what was first a private undertaking and hobby has become not only an art, but a business, as well. Knowing that, original Third Reich and Wehrmacht helmets have reached financial proportions that the average WW-II buff cannot often afford. This gentleman decided to pursue another avenue. He knew we basically love the Stalhelm and that basic love is first and foremost formed around its distinctive style Then where the $$$ come in is the finish, right? Well, our helmet-master has gone to great lengths to solve the financial dilemma for us. I mentioned already he buys all the original German helmet shells that he can get a hold of and then fastidiously repaints them in the exact colors that the various military units would have worn. He is super careful about this. They must be, and will be, exact! He then replaces the liner and chinstrap with new leather parts that are absolutely faithful reproductions of the original. He then ages the fittings. The decals that are used on most of the helmets are also carefully selected and are perfect. The end product looks just as good as the originals that would cost the collector or reenactor 5 to 10 times as much and everyone of these helmets turns out to be an item that even advanced collectors would be very proud to display. We also are extremely proud to offer these helmets that can be said to be works of art. Prices vary because of scarcity of particular shell or extra piece such as helmet covers.

Waffen-SS Refurbished Helmet in Camo Color (Item HELM 45) |
|||||||||
| DESCRIPTION:This single-decaled M-43 helmet was completely refurbished with new liner, strap, paint job, and decal. Our artist has done a masterful job of restoration and this helmet looks very real. The decal has been purposely chipped a bit and there are scars in the paint just as an original would look after being at the front. The size is ’57,’ not too small (fairly large!) The tip of the strap is stamped with the company name and ‘1943.’ The camo colors are historically perfect! This is a very nice piece of headgear and again it is an “original” helmet recently groomed!
