West German Paratrooper Helmet M1A1 LL | "Springerhelm" | Size 56 | Rare
Description
A highly collectible piece of Cold War German gear. This is the M1A1 LL (Luftlande), distinct from the standard infantry M1 clones. Designed specifically for paratroopers, this helmet sacrifices the detachable liner of the infantry model for a safer, heavy-duty suspension system.
-
The Liner: Features a fixed leather liner bolted directly to the steel shell with shock-absorbing foam pads. This design mimics the WWII FJ helmets for superior impact protection.
-
The Straps: Equipped with a robust 4-point "Y" harness chinstrap system to stabilize the helmet during jumps.
-
Condition: Used surplus condition. The leather shows patina but remains intact. Original textured Gelboliv paint.
