The German Army accepted this improved helmet June 25, 1935. The helmet was press formed in several stages from molybdenum steel. Separately inserted hollow rivets replaced the large vent lugs found on WWI helmets. The rim of the helmet continued to be rolled under for a smooth edge. It also received an updated liner and chinstrap. This high-quality reproduction from Windlass Steelcrafts is made from steel with leather harness.
