What the heck do I have?
Hey all,
My wife bought me a So called German Helmet for X-MAS she got it from cheaper than dirt ,mistake one! lol She don`t know any better but she pays 199.97 for this thing smells of paint and check this out. I cannot figure out what type helmet I have?? This thing has like the M40 which that`s what this is well youk now? Anyhow this thing has 5 area`s for headliner zincs? the vent hole is right. One of the zinc areas are done with 2 pc. rivets??
I`m sending it back unless I find Hitlers wallet in it or something he,he. So on the back of the shell it has this rectangle D kinda bar like to hook something to it? also the liners Bales are modern "D"ring not like the fixed bale helmet of the U.S. M1 helmet from WWII (which Ihave a few nice ones.
Though before I send it back I would love to find out what the heck it is oh yeah the inside rim is rolled in and has a 6? looks like 5 but may be 6 looks like there`s pitting?Look`s like it`s a 66 cuz there is no 65.
I`m going to go take some pics and hopefully you all can look and tell me what I have? I thank you all
