    No there was no story with the helmet.It was in a collection in the US than was in a collection in Norway.Now its back in the US in my collection.I liked it because it looks a bit salty and the liner is original to the helmet.There was a issued Camo paste type finish the germans applyed in the field.I believe they mixed it with water.I think this helmet was done it that finish.

    Just a question. I guess the decal must have been "digged out"?

    Love those pesky little white spots - they seem to turn up all the time and I reckon are a good indicator of age and original finish!
