This is an original German WWII helmet liner split pin, marked and dated 1943. This single pin includes its correct metal washer. The maker stamp is faint and partially obscured by paint, age and corrosion, so the marking cannot be confirmed with absolute certainty, but appears to be made in 1943.
The pin shows honest wartime wear with visible oxidation, rust, and age toning. The washer also displays rust and discoloration consistent with long-term storage. Traces of post war paint remain on the pin head. Despite the corrosion, both components remain structurally sound, though we recommend careful handling due to their age.
A solid, maker-marked split pin, ideal for completing or restoring a M42 German helmet.
Please note: This listing is for one split pin with washer.
