Stahlhelm
Member
Size 62 M18 helmet, maker unknown, on which the size stamp was mistakenly placed on the outside flange during manufacturing. This is the only helmet that I've seen so far with this odd feature. The helmet has survived with both halves of the chinstrap intact as well as the complete liner including cushions and the original issue liner cord. The interior rear flange has a nicely preserved AK 62 acceptance/size marking in blue ink. The shell shows signs of having had a helmet cover on it for a considerable period.
