Hi guys.

I have a helmet here that I think is probably post war or repainted or whatever. I know little about helmets but will be asking for help as I determine what different helmets are from a collection I will be selling.

Here are some photos. It looks brand new.

Another view of the outside

Inside, new liner

Only markings I can find are numbers 324 on the back and ET68 on right inside.

ET68

Any information would be appreciated.

Bringing this back up.

Is there no one on GDC that can identify this helmet?

Jim

Well, yes...sort of...... it is WWII manufacture in a desireable size and the paint may possibly be original. Without a side view one cannot tell if it is an M35 or an M40 model. Try taking photos in natural light and close-ups for the paint.

Thanks Mike, I will take more photos.

Jim

Looks like an M35 in a nice large size ,any signs of decals on the sides ? Rob

Hi Rob. Will post more photos, but this looks like it came right out of the factory. No signs of decals.

Jim

Here are better photos. While I see no sign of decals, there is scraping on at least one side. Hopefully the photos will show

The felt under the leather liner is white. I do not have a seperate photo

Any info would be helpful.

Could this have been removed from the factory like so many daggers were?

Any info or guesses will be helpful.
