Also known as the Model 1938, the Fallschirmhelm was a Stahlhelm variant with the brim cut down to reduce drag, thicker webbing and lining, and a more sophisticated multi-point strap arrangement. Originally finished in a deep green, the helmet was upgraded with camouflage; a protective mask was applied over the single Luftwaffe eagle decal on the left side, with a solid tan base coat applied over the exterior, then additional masking in a chiefly hexagonal pattern (possibly chicken wire) was applied before the tan was oversprayed with darker brown and green. The interior retains the original color with "4457" and "ET 71" stamped inside the brim, a series of 4 "flathead" bolts retaining the inner webbing, and the crown of the webbing stamped in black "Kopfweite: Gr.59/Stahlhelm: Gr. 71/Baumuster: Heisler, Berlin C2/Hersteller: F.W. Muller Jr."
