Give it to me strait if there are any problems or opinions,I can take it! just bought from a military guy that recieved it from a friend of his military dad who was stationed in Germany when he was a kid... marked "ET62" and "Weis" or "Wels" on the liner. Give me your input guys!! Kevin.

What are you guys opinions on the decals?? I am mostly savvy on the daggers,bit of a newby to helmets!! I may have discovered something VERY cool! I was looking inside the liner and found these markings! One is just "84" but the other appears to be a unit marking!  What do you Luft Guru's say about this unit?? What type and area? Cant make out the last word,have any ideas??  Kevin.

Reformed 1.39 in Göppingen. On 26.8.39 redesignated Koluft 5. Bases: 1.10.37 - 1.11.38 Brieg He 45/He 46 1.39 - 26.8.39 Göppingen Hs 126 The "Br" at the end of the stamp that is incomplete is Brieg!!

Thanks guys..found some maker stamps on the chin strap that read in two lines,can make out(I think)Capital C and second word cap H? Second line, maybe Dre?don 1937(the part I can make out so far!)do you guys know this maker? I was looking at the tip were they usually are but they were at the other end a few inches from where the strap wraps around the bail on the liner ring! Never saw them there before....Kevin.
