M42 Out of the Woodwork

Very nice helmet. Could you list the makrer/size and lot number?

I bet the original owner never imagined his stahlhelm would one day spend a day at the beach in Wisconsin!

Please pick it up off the rocks! The shot of it on the dome is killing me, I can just hear the scratchy scratchy noises...... (only kidding I'm sure you were careful )

A nice example of a late war lid

Thank you all for the positive feedback! I could not be happier with it.

There is only a stamped 5 in the skirt (perhaps a second digit not fully stamped) and on the inside of the leather liner I see a faint stamped BO or BD and either 58 or 59. That is all the markings I can find on this one.

Fear not! I was VERRRY careful and wouldn't have taken it outside at all except I could not get any good photos in our apartment. Rest assured my stocking cap is padding the dome on that photo in question!
