DESCRIPTION
Here is one of my latest artist creations. A late-war M42 EF66 large sized original German helmet with a reproduction liner system and chinstrap in a 3-color Normandy spray camo pattern
The helmet was first given it's late war factory textured finish on the outside with a smooth feld grau enamel finish on the inside. I then added 3 layers of historically accurate Normandy camo paint and aged it to give it a nice toned down battle worn look. As this is a late lot number in the 4918 range there never was a decal added at this point in the war.

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.)
