Heer m42

[Schwerpunkt]

Can anyone help me identify this dome stamp? I have yet to research dome stamps. I will try for better pictures soon. I will double check tomorrow but i believe the helmet is ET 2428

If you scroll to the bottom of this page you will see a similar very readable dome stamp.

You will also find other examples on Jan Melands website: http://www.german-ww2-helmet.com/432916037

For future reference, his recently published book has a page full of them and is definitely a great reference work to add to the collection for those interested in German steel helmets.

Thank you again !

He was the “Funky Chicken” of the bunch I think it means. Every Kompanie had at least one. Usually the best dancers.

Nice helmet friend. I have a couple woodworks. Nice to know besides a relative or an attic you can give this piece of history a nice home and appreciate it properly
