    Hi guys,

    I could really use your help in dating this SSH-40 helmet that was recently put up for sale.
    To me it looks like an early post-war production helmet, but I would really like to be wrong on this one.

    Any help or info is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards,

    Lars

    Early postwar yes.

    Are you sure? Ahh well, that's a shame. Seems like I have to keep looking then.

    Is there a 5 digit number stamped into the inside rear of the helmet?

    Here you go! Looks like it says 1448, but it is hard to read.

    Are there any ink stamps on the inside?

    They are usually 5 digit in the 50s produced lids.
    Edit, war time shells too.

    Liner and chinstrap is typical for early postwar helmets. Mine was from '48 and I regret that I sold it.

    There doesn't seem to be any stamps, unfortunately. Thanks for the answers! I think it was made in the late 40's.

    Right that number is hard to make out, but if the 2nd and 3rd digits are 44 it looks like it might be a wartime produced shell. 1942 produced lids would have a steel lot number of 4481.
