Hello all
I am in need of some knowledge information on my German helmet I have had this since I was a small kid I believe after the war it was used by the Norweigion armed forces at least this is what I was told Please give me with any information possible on the inside skirt it is stamped ET62 , and on the liner it is marked twice with a 55 It is a unusual Stallenhelm in that it is so very very small it is the size for a small child not a man or teenager it really is very small Please supply myself with any info on this lid as possible I would very much appreciate it I forgot to say it is a rolled edge model
Thanks Best Regards Bruce take care all

While it is a small size the most common size is 64 for the shell and 57 for the liner. don't forget there were alot of HJ helpers that needed a helmet. Do you have any photos? Post war used helmets usually have tell tale signs of there use.

Hi Bruce, If you think a 62 is small wait until you see a 60. Europeans were somewhat smaller a generation ago, but teenagers were in service in HJ & etc as well, just as Raymond noted.

Thanks for the replys This helmet has alway s interested me and others due to it s small size who ever used it was very small or a teenager I also thought that it could possibly be a contract helmet made in Germany for China they have small heads also but ir being re issued to Norway dose not really fit a Chinese helmet or dose it As for pictures years ago I repainted the helmet and put SS decal on it which I am going to redue Thanks Bruce
