DESCRIPTION
This is a mid war SS helmet cover featuring a textbook Oakleaf B pattern reversible between Autumn and Spring on each side. The 3 rocker hooks are a bit suspect to me and I'm not really a rocker hook expert but am selling this as being possibly post war created but using 100% ORIGINAL Waffen-SS oakleaf camo fabric.
The size is a comfortable 64 or a tight 66 and so will fit over both sizes of helmet shells. Definitely looks great on a display shelf as the fabric is a one looker having all the tell tale signs of old school fabric screen printing with slightly overlapping registered patterns you only get with original WW2 fabric.

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 mainly 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. A little bit of research and knowledge will pay dividends as you move ahead on your collecting journey.)
