What´s your opinon on this piece? Can´t find any markings or stamps on it.

Looks like a relic M40 that someone started stripping and cleaning.

That vent hole looks pretty big, i'd say post war!...

I disagree; looks like a good wartime Q or NS shell.

Not arguing but that vent looks quite odd!..

What ever it is, it is a piece of rusty junk.

[GreekMilitaria]

i think its original but certainly messed up try looking better for the markings sometimes they are barely visible through the rust do you know where to look for?

Looks like a wartime helmet to me, although not worth very much due to condition.

Isn't the split due to being frozen and thawed over time?
