Looks right. The position of the holes for the front liner rivets looks right. Another characteristic of an original RZM is the absence of washers on the interior of the vent lugs. M16's and M18's have larges washers on the interior of the shell, there are no washers on the interior of the vent lugs on the RZM shells. The pictures aren't clear, but from what I can see, yours helmet does not have those
washers, the RZM and SS stamps look to be right, and the overall configuration of the shell checks out. Nice find! Jim G.

Unfortunately RZM stamp is on deep rost as you see, and is poorly visible but helmet needs a detailed cleaning, after that maybe will better to see !
