Hi Dzyner,
I agree with Gimmie - the decals look very bad. Admittedly what I have seen is mainly from resource books and the internet - but I've not seen any legitimate decals like these.
Also it looks like the liner has been messed with?
In fact the whole helmet looks like it has been played about with.
Other folk will be along soon to confirm / deny.

Post war paint and decals from my view.

Looks to me possibly a "theatrical" helmet post war painted black & decaled maybe for a movie set. Just a guess. The inside paint color, maybe this was issued to another foreign country..Spain maybe ? But not German.
The perforations in the liner at the forehead area...are they random for ventilation or do they look to have any significance such as size,date,initials, etc.etc. ? Color of the liner is odd also, though maybe the lighting. Thought maybe dyed for export to Norway but not the familiar reddish tint they dyed them in normally encountered.
Since you read "ET" on the inner shell, it's probably an ET 66 being there are over 8 1/2 almost 9 liner fingers which are seen on 66 & 68 CM sized shells, don't think it's a 68 due to the shape

Hi, sadly not an original SS helmet, looks like an ET M35 Norwegian re-issue to me that has been over painted black then had fake decals applied. Leon.
