Untouched M42 camouflage helmet recently found in a barn in Zevenbergen, The Netherlands. The helmet was found last december when a farmer cleared his barn in Zevenbergen and listed this and 4 other helmets on a Dutch online selling platform. Other items found where 4 helmets and 40 cases of 7,92 ammunition. The helmet was picked up short after the battles around Zevenbergen around the Moerdijk bridgehead. The helmet has a bullet or shrapnel damage to the back of the helmet which is embedded in the front of the helmet. The interior of the helmet is corroded which is a typical feature for a KIA helmet. The liner has partially rotted away due to bad storage and blood soaking. A typical KIA helmet with provenance to the Netherlands which would be hard to upgrade.
