M38 USA Tankers or 'FURY' Helmet. This reproduction helmet is exactly like our new version but has been made to look used. It is perfect for US Armoured Reenactors, collectors or similar.
It has been painted OD Green, then spray painted in tan whitewash for 'Operation Torch' and then repainted by hand in OD Green but made to look roughly painted as if done in the field. The paintwork is suitably aged with lots of cracks and chipped areas.
The goggles are reproduction German Panzer goggles again suitably aged. They have perspex lenses yellowing and cracked in areas.
The paper 2'd Div stencil has been varnished to protect it. Only hand painted or paper decals were used on helmets in WW2 - Transfer decals are post-WWII.
The leather is perfect and has dark areas and if you are going to wear it, it could do with some conditioner to clean it and make it softer. It has been stretch to fit a 59/60cm head.
Most of the poppers have rust on the underside but all still work.
Altogether a great piece of kit if you want a period looking & working Tankers Helmet for Living History or display. Great item to keep in your original WW2 jeep or vehicle. Perfect gift item for retiring Armoured Division Veterans.
