Original era manufacture. A very nice example of the classic WWII Luftwaffe M1942 steel helmet, maker and size marked ET62, lot number 1759.Most of the original matt Luftwaffe gray/blue paint finish remains, with its original decal as shown.  Original pliable brown leather liner with original drawstring, size marked 54, no breaks, tears or missing sections, just some light scuffing and staining on the edge, never oiled.  All three, original to the helmet, rivets are in place, along with their slot washers. Pliable and complete. The only detraction is that the original leather chinstrap is missing,  being replaced by what appears to be a US WWII Civil Defense Helmet, gray cloth strap.
