Possible GBN Duck Bill Stahlhelm?

Hello,

I recently obtained this painted GBN 64 stamped stahlhlem, the more I looked at it the more I noticed the front brim protruding out further. I know GBN made the duck bill variant of the stahlhelms but I can't confirm if this is one. The angle of the skirt corner to the front brow is also noticeably sleeker compared to this ET64 I also own. I took photos next to each other for comparison. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Josh. Any GBN (aka Bing brothers) are known as the duck bill helmets by collectors due to the gentle angle of the brim to the skirt that results in the bill looking very large and flat. This was a manufacturing preference by them. They only made them in size 64
