Re: MY FIRST M16! Off of Craigslist!
I can probably post better pictures later, but for now, the lip of the helmet says ET66, and in the inside crown, it says "123"

very good find. Totaly jelly
Great clean
What ?.....
doomtown,
your helmet made by " E.T. = Eisenhuettenwerke Thale A.G., Thale /Harz ", made helmets in sizes 60-68....the number in the crown is a batch number which identifies the rolling mill where the steel was milled...it will be preceded by a letter.
Prost ! Steve.

Re: MY FIRST M16! Off of Craigslist!
"Jelly"= "jealous" west coast Ami slang, sorry Steve! Steve, the crown reads "R 123", the "R" is very faint, and I really had to shine some light in there to see it in comparison to the "123". Thanks for your help in ID'ing this. Also, do you have suggestions for finding new replacement liners and chinstraps? And how to age the leather properly? It's just for my wall, but I would like it to look right!
thanks,
Eddie

Re: MY FIRST M16! Off of Craigslist!
Eddie, thanks for the translation , I thought it would be an "R" for Stahlwerk Röchling,Volkingen, as I have noticed ET marked helmets usually have steel that was milled by that company.
Prost ! Steve.
