Refurbishment > WW2 German FJR6 M38 Paratrooper Replica Helmet Refurbishment

WW2 German FJR6 M38 Paratrooper Replica Helmet Refurbishment:


This high quality reproduction M38 Helmet was sent to us by one of our customers who wanted something a bit special. So after some discussion we agreed to make a replica 6th Parachute Regiment camouflage paint scheme as well as ageing up all the components to look 70+ years old but in relative good condition.

The FJR6 in Normandy: Carentan was defended by two battalions of Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 6 (6th Parachute Regiment), commanded by Oberst Friedrich von der Heydte, and remnants of 91 Air Landing Division's Grenadier-Regiment 1058. Both had escaped from nearby Saint Côme-du-Mont on 8 June when the village was captured by the 101st Airborne. II./FJR6 and III./FJR6 (2nd and 3rd Battalions, 6th Parachute Regiment) were still intact as fighting formations, but III./GR1058 had been nearly destroyed in three days of combat and was no longer effective as a unit. This helmet depicts a helmet used by the famous 6th Parachute Regiment.

The photographs below are the finished item, notice the sawdust within the paint, a common occurance with FJR6 helmets.
