Description
5/21/26- For sale is a 1942 dated German pith helmet. These tropical helmets are often used in conditions where lightweight sun shade was more valuable than heavy protective head covering. In the German army, this service would have primarily been with the Afrika Korps. The helmet exterior is a brown felt with some light wear and moth biting but no serious damage or tearing. The helmet has small shield medallions on the side to mimic helmet decals. The medallions are of the Heer eagle and the national tricolor. The helmet interior is largely intact with limited damage or staining. The leather sweatband is deteriorated, with several pieces missing and other pieces only loosely held on to the liner. The interior of the sweatband is marked "APN 1942 56". Overall in very good condition.
