    Regards
    I ask for opinions on this helmet I bought.
    Inner circle marked 1943. Inner size 58. I see the faded blue stamp.
    I'll have to look for a chin strap. Do I have to find it marked 1943 to be correct? Fairs and markets closed due to covid19 emergency. I'll try online. Do you have any advice on sellers?

    From what I can say it looks like a pretty nice mid/late war SD LW EF66 M42 to me.
    Probably made in the first half of 1943.
    A 1943 dated chinstrap would fit well on this one, or just one with a RBNr. though an earlier one wouldn't be too bad either, I've seen late war helmets with early chinstraps so everything is possible.
    Since when the helmets were sent out they didn't have chinstraps, they were added as they were issued, and they just took whatever they had at hand.
