    M37 FJ helmet

    I am sure many will remember this very original and rare M37 shell that appeared on German ebay a few years ago. I just found a few photos of it. As Eric can testify to, there are only a few known originals out there. Lots of fakes. Does anyone know where this one ended up?

    Hi Willi,

    I remember it was sold around EUR 3,850 in August 2003, the winner is a Belgian. Why I know this? Because I was the 2nd high bidder that time.....

    The thread about this M37 helmet is here:

    I hope it helps.

      Joseph, I guess you would remember it then!

      I was just reviewing photos of fakes and originals. I am pretty sure this one was original. The details of the liner and pads are the key.......from photos alone. Having seen my share of fakes in person, I am rather sure this one would not take long to authenticate in person.

        I also was looking at this one at this time and IMO it was original

          In 1993 I wanted one of those in the worst way! But at least I never fell for one of the fake ones you see all the time. We ought to do an inventory on the known real M-36s and M-37s.

            Hi Willi,

            The " ET " stamp is also a very important key IMO. PM me if you need the pic....
