militbuff Posted December 15, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 15, 2018 I recently picked up this helmet from the son of a vet along with a bunch of other German and Italian items. I cant locate any sort of stamp in the rim which seems very strange. Is there somewhere that Im possibly missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRA227 Posted December 16, 2018 Share #3 Posted December 16, 2018 Nice helmet. I think it is a later one because it has reinforced holes in the liner. Rich A. in Pa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militbuff Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted December 16, 2018 Hi Rich, When you later, do you mean post WWII? If so, highly unlikely. Heres a link on the USMF re my finds. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/320422-vertical-stabilizer-from-me109/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRA227 Posted December 16, 2018 Share #5 Posted December 16, 2018 No. Late war. It has a leather chin strap. I will post some of my Italian helmets. Rich A. in Pa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militbuff Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted December 17, 2018 Thanks Rich! Is it possible late war helmets didn't have a stamp or am I missing the stamp? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRA227 Posted December 17, 2018 Share #7 Posted December 17, 2018 Here is a Spanish Civil War used helmet. Rich A. in Pa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRA227 Posted December 17, 2018 Share #8 Posted December 17, 2018 Forgot. What are the marks on the suspension/chinstrap mount? Rich A. in Pa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themick Posted December 18, 2018 Share #9 Posted December 18, 2018 Why are you posting the Spanish Civil War helmet here. What relevance is it to the apparently late war Navy helmet posted?? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRA227 Posted December 19, 2018 Share #10 Posted December 19, 2018 To show the liner difference and markings. Rich A. in Pa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militbuff Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share #11 Posted December 19, 2018 Rich, I still can’t locate any markings in the helmet even with the help of your picture. Very strange. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRA227 Posted December 20, 2018 Share #12 Posted December 20, 2018 I e-mailed a few people in Italy for what they think. Rich A. in Pa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
