German Stalhelm authentic

Description: Up for sale is a vintage post-war German steel helmet (likely West German Police, Border Guard, or Fire/Civil Defense surplus) in solid, wearable condition. Details & Features: • Shell: Heavy-duty steel construction with an original, smooth factory satin-black finish. Features separate metal side air vents (M35-style lugs) and no wartime rim stamps. • Hardware: Fitted with brass split pins (brads) securing the liner band. • Interior: Original leather liner is soft, intact, and in good shape. • Chinstrap: Original leather chinstrap is attached and functional. Condition Notes: This is an authentic, honest-wear vintage surplus piece that has been kept indoors. There are minor surface scuffs on the black shell, and the black paint is naturally wearing off the brass split pins and side air vents. The leather chinstrap shows slight age-related cracking, though it remains sturdy and intact. No major dents, heavy rust, or structural damage. Great for Cold War militaria collectors, display, or reenactment use. Sold as-is—please review all photos closely for exact condition!
