Sorry, IMO, a target helmet. Why would you have to shoot somebody 3 times in the head to kill him?

machine gun? also, it seems this helmet has some blood traces nex to the side of impact

Hi, whilst in some respects I think this is a hard one to call, I would be seriously considering the fact that the same calibre "dings" are evident from the opposite direction on the outside of the shell? The inner staining may well be from genuine blood damage, but as Ralph notes, the overall appearance just does not sit right to me. Leon.

Actually, the so called "blood traces" are on the opposite side as the outward dents. If a bullet exited the head on the side where the dents go out, there would certainly be blood traces and likely liner damage there.

Exactly! A bit of a "play" going on for my liking. Seems like it was a genuine blood damaged lid that has been shot at post war. Leon.

It looks like .22 rifle hits , a big bore .30 FMJ round would go right through one side if not both .

Exactly, full size rifle rounds would pass through both sides!...

Thanks all for the replies, I thought the same about the dents not holes but thought I would get better opinions, I think I'll pass on this one.

Good idea , it's too bad this helmet was ruined . Probably put on a fencepost and plinked at with a .22 rifle after the war , too bad .
