German? Model? Please?

[Garandy]

I’m going to use light steel wool to oil and clean?

Looks to be a German M42 Helmet

Thanks

At the most, wipe it off with a damp rag. Steel wool and oil will remove 70 plus years of patina and ruin the shell in my opinion.


Take care, be safe

I’d leave it as is nothing wrong with a good honest used M42 helmet even with the gunk it collected surviving 70+ years.

Just oil

[Martin C]

It's your helmet. If it were mine, i would just wipe off the "new" dirt and leave it alone.


over and out,
