M40 Stahlhelm EF/ET(? ) ND with wintercamo.
Hello.
A while ago managed to buy a german M40 helmet with Wintertarn remains, the helmet was found in a barn and bought in Latvia/ Baltic region. Judging from
shape of the vent holes could be either ET or EF manufactured helmet it seems. No markings ar visible, i could probably try to clean of the rust, but is there a point?
With best regards,
It's fine just as it is...A solid, relic shell and an attractive display piece...

I agree with Glenn. Once you touch it, it ceases to be a relic and simply turns into an old helmet that has been messed with.

Nice white wash.
My winter camo supposedly came from the Latvia area as well.

Interesting would be nice to see some photos, i do live in Latvia- in Kurland peninsula so it is always nice to buy something that was found localy. I do go to metaldetecting but they don't always result with good finds.
I will leave it as it was bought then. Thanks for recomendations.
I have one very similar and might dig it out and post it up.
Yes a nice original white camo i have had many of them over the years and always leave them in the condition that they come out of the ground in
