Original German WWII 5cm Mortar Round Leichter Granatwerfer 36 Transportation Box Case With Inert Round Fusee Spring & Cover Known as the Foreign Service

Known as the Foreign Service Helmet the helmet was made of cork and covered in white cloth

The leather is now quite stiff where it is intact

The odd appearance of the MAS-38 did not detract from its accuracy

However the small round welds on the front seam are definitive for a Schlueter helmet

It also is a version made without the "tab" for length adjustment
