German WWII M42 Steel Helmet- Stahlhelm 42 P-1853 Enfield This Symbol of the highestNew Made Item: Simply put this is the very best reproduction M1942 helmet available anywhere. It is an IMA exclusive and has been in development for over a year. It was copied exactly from an original in the IMA collection. Germany entered WWII with the M 35 helmet as standard issue (WW1 M 16 & M 18 helmets were also in use). In 1942, Due to wartime demands, the M 42 design was put into production because it was significantly quicker to manufacture.
