I have a helmet that I would like to sell in the classified section but I want to have it checked out first so I can make sure it is OK. It has some issues, there are a few places where the rim has corroded and the bill has a crack. This helmet was found in Russia. A friend of mine who has now passed away sold it to me. It was found near Demjansk in the positions of the 123 Infantry division. this is the area where that division would have been surrounded. There is a thick coat of paint on the skirt and I don’t know if it should be removed to reveal the stamping or not? I think it should be left alone but I do not sell many helmets and I am not sure if that is done.
