Very cool and salty helmet, I like it. That story is awesome as well, imagine finding a bunker full of ww2 guns and helmets

Its a neat helmet! Its not black paint just a darker shade of green, but it does look brushed on. Probably to update it to later standards. You can see the original apple green in the dome. I like the story too... If only that bunker was still there, no telling what treasures it held!

Dark green makes sense

, It's really dark even in daylight but not quite black.

Can anyone identify the maker? Maker and lotnumbers have been painted over.
I'm taking a wild guess and say ET

Excuse me for bringing it up again guys, but I've been looking at this decal for a while and keep wondering (dare I say it?) is it a toned Heer or possibly KM?

I've been doing some online research on KM decals, but this decal is mostly painted over/worn off, so with the little info that I now have I am still unable to tell.
I think all that's left to judge is the color?

It doesn't really matter that much to me if it is a Heer or KM, but I would still like to know (If it is even possible to tell).
Some help from experienced collectors would be appreciated

(The picture was taken in bright sunny daylight)

Very nice Helmet indeed

I presume it was a re-issue?is that the correct terminology?...............

**MoparJW** · 12-28-2014, 10:34 PM

Thanks for the comments guys

Jake, I'm not sure but I think this is called a field reissue?

Any thoughts on the decal?

**ruddersrangers44** · 12-28-2014, 10:46 PM

Thats what I mean't field re-issue as the steel band is after they changed to the 1940 production type,sorry can't help with the decal,Im only a novice with TR Helmets,but its a nice honest Helmet and displays really well................
