Period refurbished shell marked for the required liner size?
-
Close up of the decal? Any Maker marks on the shell.
Probably a size 66 from the lugs. The 57 is the liner size. Not overly familiar with WW1 helmet to liner sizes but I think size 64 was a liner 57 and 66 was size 58.
It's not an M17. But an M18

Would like to know the maker Anton. The transition from visor to the rear skirt is interesting. A nice example.
-
Most would call this a M18, due to the lack of rivets for the chinstrap.
Cheers,

Thank you for your input.
As for the decal I can try to post some close ups later tonight but I really do not have any concerns.
As for the maker mark, I looked on the skirt and couldn’t find one.
Would it be the same place as on an M40?
Where exactly should I look?

hi ... top reisue M18 army helmet ... the 57 inside indicates the size ...
-
Nice helmet!
As for the marking, it should be in the usual place, sometimes on these WWI era helmets the markings can be hard to make out due to weak strikes or thick paint.

Sometimes harder to find in these WW1 shells than on WW2 examples. Should be in the same area. The size stamping in the inside dome is there because a repaint during its life often obscures the original maker and size stamping
I'm not necessarily concerned about the decal but thought you would be interested in knowing who made it. Always nice to know exactly what you have in your collection....or if you are flipping it, the info would make it more interesting.....

I think that it is a nice, solid helmet. I wish I had it in my modest collection.
