E-129 German 1945 B2 experimental prototype helmet. A radical design from the standard shaped "Stahlhelm" of WWII. "Turtle shell" shape with a rough O.D. finish and some splotches of a lighter yellow-green camouflage. Top inside stamped in red "Abgenommen...". Standard type drawstring liner - band is attached to the shell with 3 flanges/fold-over rivets. (One flange is split at the fold.) Black leather chinstrap. This was the last model helmet produced by the Third Reich. This particular design became the basis for the East German 1956 adopted helmet. Rare. II
