ebay aquired M42

Hello to all

just won this auction for a reasonable price ( $ ain't what it used to be ), a clean sharp Mod 42 nd ( size 64 ). Don't have it yet, but couldn't resist to share it already with you guys.
Honest, untouched look, the way I like them.

I don't think that it is all dust around the washers and between the liner and shell, but rather traces of whitewash. Looks rather to white to be only dust,no?

Any opinions?

cheers

Jan

inside view, leather is in good cond. with a nice worn patina

Hard to say untill you have it in hand, maybe it will be a nice "kicker" in the deal.
Reeks honesty....

thanks Perry for your replie, what do you mean with 'Kicker in the deal'?

don't know that expression

[Perry Floyd]

If it turns out to once have been whitewashed at one time it's a bigger plus for the helmet, thus a nice surprise for you

let's hope so...

Hello Jan,

nice helmet, put some nice pics to the forum when you have it.

Wishing you luck with the white wash.

Was it on the german ebay

Did I miss it

Greetings

Michael, it was on ebay.com (US). In fact I'm new to ebay and it is my first items I bought with the ' buy it now' option. I couldn't resist it because of the dollar-value in comparison with the euro for the moment.

Will post some detailed pictures when it comes in

Well now you're on e-bay I have to watch all the nice helmet hé? What's your ID?

Yes indeed looks like a nice helmet, maybe with some dried suncream. Let us hope not

Well done Jan
