This is an original late-WWII German manufactured M42 ex-single decal Waffen SS helmet set. Its original slate-grey textured factory finish is in well-worn condition and the EF SS decal has been completely scraped away - likely done after November 1, 1943, coinciding with the order from German high command, directing the omission of SS decals from all helmets. The inside brim is size stamped EF66 along with the lot number of 3200, denoting 1943 production by the Emaillierwerke A.G., Fulda factory. The stampings correspond with a confirmed Waffen SS helmet recorded in Brian Ice's research on German helmet lot numbers. The interior retains its original leather liner, drawstring, and partial chinstrap. The helmet's split pins and washers are all original and show no signs of tampering.
