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?

Thats from when the helmets were formed in the steel stamping press. See it much more on the M42.

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.
