    Late war para helmet with strange stamp

    Just got this and few other helmets this morning, late war para ckl 68 with 2 aluminum and 2 steel bolts.
    I never had one with extra rubber reinforcement in the back where the leather straps cross and also with a stamp on the side.
    Any idea what the stamp is?

              Very nice helm in pristine condition. No idea about these markings but the look to be factory made...
              The rubber back reinforcement looks to be a personal addition of the owner IMO. However seems unused/mint...
              Very nice, congrats

                The lower row of numbers match the sizes.

                      here we go, this is the best I can do but appears to be mounted like all the other rubber pads

                        Very interesting Giorgio! I'm not a cloth guy, but at first glance, the numbers remind me of the marks you see stamped inside uniforms. Maybe one of the numbers is the date of manufacture - 1943?

                        You said the extra pad is mounted like the other 7, but those are actually sewn through the pad with heavy thread, to hold them in place between the metal band and the leather. This one looks more like it is glued in place?

                        Another thing I'm wondering about.....is the batch number 4054? It is not completely clear in the pics. If so, that is the first one I've seen with that batch number that does NOT have the flared rim.

                        Thanks for sharing Giorgio!

                        Cheers,
                        Terry

                          That's exactly what I was thinking concerning the lot number. The only 4054 I've seen were with the "flared" rim, interesting.
