Cheers guys, just waiting on the mail now! Shouldn't be too long!
And OBKrieger, the paint on this helmet is quite thick (possible a re-issue) so the lot number/maker cannot be identified unfortunately..
Would anyone recommend using a very fine sand paper to bring back the paint SLIGHTLY in the small areas where it would be stamped?

I think you're right on that one mate,
I do not plan on stripping the paint off entirely so I don't think I'll ever know the maker or lot number.
Out of interest, have you seen other helmets with a similar thick finish? Was this somewhat common?
Joshua
The only two M42's I have are a dark grey/black, which I think is original
on at least one of them. It is possible that yours is a repaint,
but it may actually be the original colour.
You'll know for sure and can post more detailed photos
when you receive it................!

Steve.
Just out of interest, by re-paint do you mean a post war repaint, or a factory/depot repaint?
Kind Regards,
Joshua
