Very fine.\n\n \nFootnote: Different grades of wire were used to provide the framework for which foliage could be attached to helmets. In many cases, the wire itself served as a means of camouflage without the aid of leaves or branches. A variety of methods were used to attach wire to a helmet. Both strait bailing wire as well as fencing wire (often called chicken wire) was also used in various gauges. The wire types and grades applied to helmets often differed depending on the theatre of combat where the helmet was being used. Helmets that used wire for camouflage were typically found in the Italian and French theaters in 1943 and 1944. However, as a whole, Continental Europe with its strong agrarian base was an abundant source of farm yard and fencing wire. Helmets used in Russia however were not commonly camouflaged with wire. This is verified by the relatively few photographs showing men in the East with wire camouflage helmets. The premise being that in many parts of the desolate Russian steppe (and often isolated village settings), wire was a scarce commodity. When applied, wire was often attached by means of small collar hooks, bent wire hooks, or simply crimped over the edges of the helmet. In most cases, it appears as though each individual soldier hand crafted his own wire configuration. Although it is possible that it was also done on more of a small unit level.\n","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46114901950741,"sku":"G18280","price":1150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/an_m42_army__hee_55ba491753915.jpg?v=1692854392"},{"product_id":"germany-heer-an-m42-steel-camouflage-helmet-g46452","title":"Germany, Heer.

An olive-drab felt strap covered the seam where the canister transitions in a brim. The interior is fully encompassed by a multi-piece liner consisting of dark green throughout the shell with a reinforced red felt crown. A light brown leather sweatband circumscribes the interior, and bears an embossed maker’s mark of “JHS” for the firm of Johann Hückel \u0026amp; Söhne, a noted and prolific manufacturer of Wehrmacht pith helmets.
