Re: Green M40 ET66
Hi there,
It is a beaded M40, often used by Luftschutz and Police. This liner type is pretty standard for a beaded helmet.

Re: Green M40 ET66
hmm..that doesn't look like a beaded helmet to me.

Re: Green M40 ET66
Yeah, I think it had a band or something around it that left a mark.........

Re: Green M40 ET66
Oh its got a bead alright - just a real shallow one. Look at the weird rivet shape also, and the cork pads of the liner are roundish - all the LS ones I have seen have rectangular cork. And the repaint - dark bluish on the inside???
An unusual one this.......

Re: Green M40 ET66
I have to agree, I think something left that mark, a band or paint, etc. There is no pronounced bead on that helmet.

Re: Green M40 ET66
Hey guys, remember I'm doing a project on beaded helmets and one of the things I have seen is the variation in the beading. Companies like SE have almost no bead ( like this ET one ) and others ( especially Quist ) have fully formed beads - it just depended on the machinery used - whether it was manual bead rollers or automated and with manual pressure or hydraulic.
Look at photo 3 ( the front on shot ) ... you can just see the bump on each side below the rivets.....

Re: Green M40 ET66
I agree with Dan here, its a shallow bead alright. As he said look at the liner pins, not a standard pin but the liner itself is also of the civil variety.
BTW Just looked at the GHW database, there is a match!
M40 703 ET 66 SD Heer steel liner heavily toned decal - light green reissue/camo paint
That puts a spanner in the works, though I still think there is a very light bead there.

Re: Green M40 ET66
The first thing I noticed was the faint bead...see it All the time in classic car restorations..we now have bead rollers to make beads on floor boards..this bead was done manualy
