Ef64 nd m42

**BodhiEtheridge** · 05-29-2021, 11:09 PM

I just recently purchased this helmet and I took a little risk as it’s only my second helmet and I didn’t ask here first but I think I did alright. It’s a EF64 but the lot number is a little tricky, I think it’s 7718 and shows the stamping error with the 1 being flipped which would make sense with it being an EF helmet. The helmet has a great worn look but also remains in good condition. The paint is mostly all there, the liner is great looking but a little dry. The chinstrap has been slightly damaged by sitting on over the top of the helmet but I’ll leave it as is because I’ve removed it and the damage is done and won’t get worse by leaving it. There is a dome stamp inside but it’s impossible to photograph without damaging the liner, there is also the name “Fetz” in pencil on the liner.

Very happy with it as my second helmet and I’m happy to have both types of M42 helmet in my collection now. I’m also interested in opinions on the lot number, as I may be completely wrong.

Edit: Not sure why the title changed to all lowercase sorry about that

A nice honest ND. You did well.

I'll fix the title for you. (Hmmm...keeps reverting to lower case for me too).

Title fix isn't working for some reason. Like you...it keeps reverting to lower case. Odd

Weird, I’m sure people will still understand it not a problem

Very neat helmet for your second. Always happy to see one that hasnt been ruined by fake decals! Congrats

Thanks, I didn’t really plan on picking it up but as I’ve got the SD M42 I though it wouldn’t hurt to add this guy. I’m all done with the M42s, now it’s on the M40s and 35s
