No Decal M42 Helmet Help!

I am new to collecting German helmets. I found this german m42 no decal on a website for $250. The seller says the chinstrap is a replacment. Is the liner original to the helmet? Is it an original?

Many Thanks

Luftwaffe drilling

Yesterday an old family friend surprised me by giving me a 1903 A3 that my grandfather, who was a gunsmith, had built years ago. He also said that one day (hopefully soon)he was going to give me a Luftwaffe drilling that my great uncle had brought back from WWII. Unfortunately years ago my uncle, who was half mean and bad to drink, sold the drilling for $65. Well, the fellow who bought the drilling never paid for it, and returned it after he had dropped it in the mud and fired it destroying the end of the barrel. I had never heard of a drilling until yesterday, and after doing some research I realized how rare and sought after it is. What are the odds that I can either find a replacement barrel, or have one built. I'm not a rich man, and the gun will never be sold since I've heard stories of my uncles exploits in WWII since I was a child and looked up to him, but I would like to replace the barrel if possible.

Can anybody translate this?

This is a plaque that is on a model of a T34/85. I tried to enhance the image, but my equipment leaves something to be desired. Maybe you can enhance it so that it is readable? If so please tell me what it says. I assume this is Russian.

Herbert Zeitner logotype Information

I'm interested in Zeitner's logo which shows his "Z" Hallmark. I have see this mark within a circle and without a circle around the "Z" Question, did he use both designs over the years?
Also, what is the logo/hallmark to the right of the gold grading mark? I have seen this mark on many Third Reich pieces over the years. Looks like a crab or an German Imperial eagle?

Thank you...

Johnny Rocket
