Named M42 Luftwaffe with Bring Back Tag

[Dirt Detective]

Hey Guys, This is my last pick up and my first Luft. I think I picked a good one here. Single decal, Renamed with bring back tag from a Pvt from battery "B". Has the name Bester in Ink on the liner and it looks like a name was scratched off and a new one painted on. Marking are ET 64 and the lot number looks to be..its hard to make out the first #, 2012 and has remnants of the old white paint in the numbers. On the top of the lid, you can see where the address label was applied. Sorry for glare in pics.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. To be a mail man back during WWII, I wonder how many helmets they saw getting shipped home this way.
