M42 helmet collection

[mcpw]

Hi,

About 1 year ago I aquired my first ND M-42 helmet. I really love these "plane Jane" helmets, especially in very good condition with matt rough paint finish. You really see the quality degrading the higher the batch numbers go.

Hope you enjoy!

great collection!!

Excellent specialized collection! And some of the more reasonably priced helmets too.

M42's are my least favourite but when they're grouped together like this I see the appeal.

splendid, I like this ones much more then the mint M35 ones with dubbel decals.
What doesn't mean I don't like the DD's off course.

I have a similar m42 ND, HKP62.
