Unfortunately Andy, it is not a name. It says "Property of Michael"
Great pick up. Iconic! That pig skin liner is classic as well! And love the dome wear on it!
Congrats!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Aha! Thar she blows. Nice one Andy.... great Patina on this one as well. I like that Leather in that one too. Its hard to do a group photo isnt it? At least for me it is ....with an Iphone and limited NYC space before the neighbors are all looking down into my backyard at the crazy "Nazi" below.
The name in script is great. Funny kids probably have a hard time writing their names these days. And Back then everything was done in such perfect script. "Bluganell"??? LOL prob not but thats what I see. Let me look again .... I think it says "Property of Michael" !!!! Oh well .... better ship this back across the sea now. Was nice while it lasted.
As we discussed M42s ranked number 3 on my list of Fav Helmet Models. This was based off a KM M42 size 62 that I had for a bit. It was an odd shape for me. THEN when I got a new one size 66 ... the shape started to look a lot cooler to me. And I dig these more and more as I do your example A personal preference. Size does not bother me in the slightest with other models. Thanks for sharing

Congratulations, nice pick up.
Nice group pics as well.

A beautiful example, i love it, congratulations!
The name... is hard, its in "Altdeutsch" i guess, here is a table with the letters, maybe that helps.
So far i think the first letter may be an L or an B, so far i think its an L. the first two letters maybe Li? The next an a or an e, and the last two an double l?

Thanks for taking the time to comment guys. Appreciated.
Adravor, it was suggested elsewhere that it was sutterlin but you being a native German speaker I will go with what you have suggested. The alphabet will be very helpful when I have another look later - thanks.

Well, i think Sütterlin is Altdeutsch... which means basically just Old-german. But Sütterlin would probably be more exact. I hope the Alphabet can help you, names are always facinating on these helmets!

Great looking helmet Andy - you sure like the M42! They look really good together - well photographed.
Shame on the broken chinstrap, but on the other hand it also looks like it is original to the helmet.
Is that a shoe string for liner cord?

Hi Nick,
Thanks! I like them all but yes, I do like M42’s. The liner string is odd as it looks correct except for that crimping on the ends. Meant to mention that. Probably is a shoelace but then wondered if they were all issued like that before the ends fell off.

Exactly what i thought - because when you look at it it looks very much like a genuine liner string.
It is very long, so were they cut down - or is this a shoe lace?
