Re: A new M42 project - watch this space!
Hope you get the results you are after, Mr. Stein.........
It's got a lot of bubbles and such - looks like they're
under the remaining paint too - could it be a
lumpy camo ?
You could be right though Dan, it may turn up
some surprises.........

Re: A new M42 project - watch this space!
Will be interested to see what comes of this one Dan, always wanted to buy some lids to clean but just to expensive for my liking. With any luck you will get a good camo or even a decal.

They are getting up there Jason - and I normally stay away as the postage usually kills any bargain you may find - but this was a C note all up and I clicked first and thought later ..........
Cheers, Dan

OH, nearly forgot - here's the weird thing.... that black you can see in the close-up and on the inside of the helmet is Tar or bitumen / pitch - seems like at some time someone may have used this helmet as a bucket to keep tar brushes in ???? ..... stranger things have happened on the field of battle - or in a cut off army's daily routine on the Kurland peninsula ( where this one came from )

It's possible that the stamps for maker code, size and lot number
are stamped on the rear center portion of the rim. I also have
a relic M42 in similar condition.........

Interesting results. A nice relic.
