RARE WEST GERMAN EXPERIMENTAL PARATROOPER MODEL ROMER HELMET (NAMED)

This is a very nice early Post War West German Experimental Paratrooper Helmet Model Römer (also known as the Römer/LS) was a rare trial helmet tested by the Bundeswehr between 1957 and 1959. It was one of approximately 12 different experimental styles trialled during the early years of the West German paratroopers (Fallschirmjäger) before they eventually adopted a US-style M1 helmet in 1961. Only 500 of these were made. Shell Design: Produced by manufacturer Linnemann & Schnetzer (LS), the shell shape closely resembles the WWII-era German M1938 paratrooper helmet. This is in fantastic condition, the liner and sweatband as well as the chin strap are in great condition, this one is named on the sweatband with some notches (perhaps the amount of times he jumped?) a nice rare one to add to the collection of helmets.
