Helmet From the vet

[Totenhead]

superb example gary, martin can i ask about this textured late war finish ,was it applied in the field or during manufacture id like to know more about it please

James,

To be honest, I am not sure but think it was factory applied, its not unusual to see M42's like this, I have had a couple myself

Looks like a late war pig skin liner also
