DESCRIPTION
Here is one of my latest creations, a late war M42 NS66 Waffen-SS helmet with a single white metallic decal. Rear lot D350 with the unique large style font we only see on some NS M42 helmets.
The SS decal has been slightly tea toned just like the originals and is a CA Pocher style which was widely used in the field since it was the most widely available decal that could be purchased in private shops while soldiers were on leave.
$400

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.)
