looks like two very salty lids, with some superb patina. The leather on the apple green helmet looks very pristine.

Thanks Jake. Thought it would be nice to show a pre-war and war time lid together!

Thanks Patrick! I would say the DD is more heavily used in appearance but this can of course be down to many factors including storage, hair product etc. The DD also has “Hank” written in red paint in the dome, perhaps by the GI that took it back to the US. The ET60 is also signed by the original owner in pencil in the rear skirt.

I really like the size 60 Andy! Great decals and A rather uncommon size it’s almost like a kids helmet. Thanks for showing them!

Thanks! Yes, I always wanted one just to see physically how small they are but also as they are a little more scarce. I have an M16 in size 60 too. The M35 looks tiny next to an M42 NS68 that I have.
