    Hi Toecutter,

    The helmet looks like a nice ET M42. Very similar to mine.

    You're right, the guy did not know what he was talking about. They continued to put Decals on helmets until 1943 when the order was given to stop putting decals on helmets due to them not being necessary and to save time in the production.

    Lol, ask the guy if he has any of those rascally M42 SS helmets with their fake decals that he wants to get rid of

    Hi Toecutter,

    Have a look at Schwerpunkt's website for some original examples: Heer Helmets – German Helmet Vault

    As said above, the guy was talking out of his backside. Yes they stopped applying decals midway through M42 production but that doesn’t mean they didn’t apply them at all. This helmet is a very nice example of a decal’d M42, a one looker some would say.
    Many thanks

    Hello,
    M42s with Heer decal were produced between August 1942 and August 1943
    Thanks
