Heer M42, ET62, #1525

[MD Helmets]

Lets have some opinions on this noodle protector. As stated, Heer M42, ET62, #1525. Decal removed rather cleanly. It was also difficult to photograph, but it is double dome stamped. Remains of woodchip/sawdust camo? And can anyone make out what is stamped on the tip of the buckle section? I'm guessing a unit stamp of some kind?

Thanks

If I understand what your asking, the Stamp at the tip of the chinstrap? If so it is a maker mark

[MD Helmets]

Normally yes, but that's the tip of the short portion, which contains the buckle. Not the long part that contains the holes.

Personally I have never seen a mark on the short part so I don't know I'll look into it, if i find out something I will tell.

Looks like a good honest lid, I have seen this before somewhere.

Nice lid. I like the late war pigskin liner.

A very nice M42 Helmstone! I can't help you with the stamp marking,very un-usual! That decal was taken off very cleanly,if only all servicemen thought of us future collectors as considerately!!!LOL Leon.

I agree mate, nice pot. The marking on the strap is weird isn't it, I'm thinking unit marking too maybe. I see II or something at the end there.

[helmet2id]

Very nice. I will be checking the short ends of my straps from now on.

This is the first time I have ever seen any type of marking on the buckle part. It's very tight due to the stud so these are pretty much the best pics I can get. Too bad there is no feldpost number.

@ Doug: this one came from a collection out of Hagerstown MD. And a VFW or American legion before that, according to the previous owner.
