Also, is this front seam or rear seam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a front seam, which means it's an earlier WW2 era made shell that was refurbished for postwar use.....The shiny rim is due to it being made of stainless steel...Bodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundance Posted April 17, 2022 Share #6 Posted April 17, 2022 I think I'm seeing the seam in the back. The seam is in that shiny rim you mentioned, There are great helmet experts here - I'm not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pictures aren't the best, but I'm pretty sure I see a seam in this picture....Bodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavalryCombatant Posted April 18, 2022 Share #10 Posted April 18, 2022 Definitely looks like a front seam to me. One of the tongues on the cover should have a stamp, indicating the manufacturer as well as the year of manufacture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
