Attic Condition Vet Bringback German FJ Helmet, Large Size

This helmet was found in an attic where it sat since the war, weathering the conditions of the storage environment and age. It was a bringback by a 3rd Infantry Division vet from Worcester, Massachusetts, passed to the initial owner from the vet's son. The Shell is a later war product, with a fully intact liner and strap system (both are somewhat fragile but fully present). One rivet head is broken off but never turned, a rear rivet is a wartime replacement. The rough texture finish has an area of surface scale / patina that covers ~50% of the exterior. The helmet is otherwise 'dusty untouched' and complete. Large size 59 and well-marked FJs like this are scarce in any condition. Overall a great, collectible example of an 'as found' GI bringback.
