Re: SS Helmet
I would bet the shell markings are ET64 or ckl64? You will find the markings at the rear of the interior skirt, and possibly at the left side of the skirt too, depending onthe point in the war it was made. It is a model 1942 (M42) helmet, made at the Eisenhuttenwerke factory in Thale, Germany. It is also, very nice indeed and I would like it on my shelf

Re: SS Helmet
Thank you for the info! The helmet is not for sale. My Grandpa has turned down some pretty good offers for it including 2 regular German helmets as trade. He wants to pass it on to me and my brother knowing that we would appreciate it.

Re: SS Helmet
I wasn't trying to get it off you, just admiring It's very cool that you have such a piece AND that it comes from your Grandpa. What are the shell markings may I ask?

Re: SS Helmet
I wish I could tell you. I live in Texas and flew up to Wisconsin this past weekend to hear my Grandpa give a speech about the concentration camps he saw during the war. I only snapped these few pictures the morning I left and I'm now back in Texas. I wish I had more pic but these will have to do.

Re: SS Helmet
That’s worth half a dozen random SS helms with no provenance in my opinion, the family connection is priceless!!! Take care of it and keep it your family!!!

Re: SS Helmet
Agreed. Looks more like a ckl shell. Decal looks promising. Decal is everything in with SS helmets. Best to take straight on clear shots in macro mode if you want a more positive evaluation.

Re: SS Helmet
Lol - will you and your brother saw it in half down the middle,
or length-wise from the top - and who gets the half
with the decal ?
A really great helmet, thanks for posting.........!
