H'mm, that's a mighty HEAVY texture for a Thale factory helmet ... unless it was done in the field?
And a 1941 Eilers chinstrap on a M42? ...... interesting to hear what the others have to say about it.

I'm agreeing with Dan. Never seen this rough a factory paint job.

What is the batch number. I can't read it.

On the road so can't confirm if the decal is ok or not. Hopefully someone can.

Batch number is 1460

It looks repainted inside and out, with the liner being added later on aswell.

so is it a good one?

Interior paint looks ok to me , it is not the exterior paint. I would ask for a sharper HQ decal photo.

I can't tell from the photos and I am no expert so someone please correct me. The decal looks like an attempt at the Wilhelm Abels decal. but that looks like a repaint and if it's not that decal to me looks suspect.
