Original German WWII Luftschutz Air Defense M38 Beaded Gladiator Helmet with 56cm Liner and Broken Chinstrap - dated 1938 Japanese Flare Guns or "King Frederick"Original Item: Only One Available. This is an M1938 Beaded Luftschutz Gladiator German helmet, which looks to have seen moderate service during the WWII era. The exterior of this German helmet retains about 85% of the original dark blue paint, showing overall wear, with some denting on the crown, which is now a bit flat. The rolled edge is missing a good amount of the paint, which is not uncommon, and there is some oxidation on the underside of the
