Hello all,
I've been asked by a friend to try and find out more information about this helmet. I found some info on this website
http://ww2germanhelmets.com/Information ... s.com.html
With my zero knowledge I'm guessing from that website that this is either a M1935, M1940 or M1942?
Markings: 54 Size? 1514 Serial No?
There is some writing in blue which i presume was added later. I cannot read this.
I can barely make out the insignia on the side. Can anyone help?
Apologies for the amateur photos.
Brilliant forum, thanks.
EDIT: Also found EF62 inscribed inside.

Rolled rim with riveted vent hole = M35
non-rolled rim with pressed vent hole = M42

Looks like it once had a Luft eagle decal.
