need closer pic's of decal, but if the experts on this forum say it's O.K. that would be very nice indeed!!

Hi, I am wondering, what causes these rippling marks? I have seen this in a few helmets before. Is it from bad steel used, poor storage or just 60+ years of age?
Re: SS Helmet - 07/27/2006 02:37 AM
Thats from when the helmets were formed in the steel stamping press. See it much more on the M42.
Re: SS Helmet - 07/27/2006 03:53 AM
That's from standing to close to the 88mm when they went off

Thank you Derek.
Does such rippling affect value at all? Or don't collectors care about such ''damage'' / ''wear''? {I mean on original helmets, not on the fake shown here.}

It is not considered 'damage' its just the way the helmet turned out when it was made.
