Description

This reproduction was an actual donation to a museum.  It’s built on an ORIGINAL shell, but the sand-tan finish is post-war applied.  This was sold, but confirmed to be a reproduction, in the last auction, and is now being offered as a reproduction.  Here is the description from the previous auction:  

This is quite an interesting piece, having been donated to a local museum and having never been in a collection.  The museum does not display items like this, so they contacted me to de-access it (museum lingo for sell it).  Note that the helmet was at some point a double decal, but both decals were removed at some time, and the eagle decal was actually hand-painted back on!  Talk about field-ingenuity!  Condition is reflected in the photos.  Helmet is an ET66 and features a steel lot on the back interior rim.  Looks to have been painted several times during the course of its combat career.
