Have ou a link to this page please as I'm no wiser on what the D222 represents. .
Thank you
Hi, the D222 number is just a number that was stamped into a particular "batch/run" of helmets. If quality control tested a helmet from that batch and found it not to be up to ballistic standards, the whole run would be pulled. The next batch of helmets to be pressed may have had D223 stamped onto them etc etc. It is just an identification tool for the factory. For future reference never remove a liner from a helmet as it affects the value, any serious collector would spot it a mile off and either offer less or pass completely. Leon.
Thanks for the info
Why taken it appart? Even for cleaning you can leave it al together..? Good luck putting those pins nice and tight back in the helmet...And don't strip it of its paint?! This helmet has its own history and ended up how it is now. I hate when people do this. I have a Danish m40 Q64, with ww2 number in the neck. But i let it as it is. Other collectors should do the same. Just a waiste of a nice helmet...
