Reproduction helmet from the 6th Parachute Regiment, with camouflage paint scheme and ageing to 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.
This helmet has a dark green base coat and single tone tan camouflage with sawdust mixed in but most of this has been worn smooth with ageing. It has a single eagle decal which is 100% intact and 45% visible. The liner is suitably marked and the straps are dark and wrinkled in many places. The colours are a lot more subdued in natural light, the photographs make them look more stark.
A superb iconic helmet from a famous German WW2 Paratroop unit. A genuine one in this condition would run into tens of thousands.
