Steve,
You are well under the heatstamp number for a WW2 helmet. The bale and chinstrap look good on the the helmet, would look to see the whole helmet. I don’t study heatstamp letters that closely but it may just be one that is not encountered that often. Thank you for your attention to the small details.

Thanks Marty, hope you are right, i will shoot some more images with the Firestone liner it came with which needs a little attention.

Steve they went to an F but they are few and far between so its quite a rarity to own one.

Thanks Jake i guess that is why i have ever seen one, so this dates late war?
it arrived with a Firestone liner tatty but original, needs a tie string and a A-washer
