DESCRIPTION
Here is a professionally restored using an ORIGINAL German WW2 produced M42 shell. This is a medium sized M42 helmet produced by Eisenhuttenwerke, Thale, Germany. The rear lot number suggests 1943 factory production. The helmet. was professionally restored with textured feldgrau paint on the outside and a smooth enamel finish on the inside.
A simple but very nice later war example that would have been seen by the Allies during the invasion post Normandy.

GERMAN HELMET FACTORY PRODUCTION CODES
(Every original German helmet produced from 1935 to 45 had two factory stampings punched into the side and rear or both in the rear. The alpha numeric number refers to the factory location and the inside metric circumference in centimeters. The rear lot number refers to the production run and was used as a quality control measure. The font styles used at each factory were slightly different but highly consistent throughout the war and so fakes or reproductions will either not have these numbers at all or they will use the wrong font style or letter spacing and so are easily identified as post war made.)
