Jack,
The writing is name or nickname, in the bottom photo they are all the same 'Guli' or 'Goli', the top of the helmet has the full name but I can't make it out form the photos. Second photo up, the one in the middle is 'Avi'. The other two look like they are written in Roman letters, bottom one is possible Guli or Goli its not clear.
Quick question, is there a series of numbers stamped in black in on the inside of the liner, I'm trying to corelate these with a manufacture date, if I'm right it will start with a 6 or a 7.

Thanks for the quick answer, seems like a gang of buddies having signed the liner. I'll examine the liner once back home. Jack

Thanks Jack, it's the middle two numbers, not the start that I think are the year of manufacture, the earliest I've seen is 68 and the latest 77 which aligns with the period of use. There is a clear correlation but in the absence of any reference its only when one comes up that doesn't align that blows the theory. It could be DDYYM, I have seen a 6 number series that aligned with a double digit month at the end.
As the saying goes, little things...
