My new fj helmet

[Jan43]

And yet another flared rim helmet,again lot 4054. I have one and really like these, but it is uncertain that they were issued in time for the Normandy battles, but rather in late 44.
Any certainty or other views on this time frame?

You can find my opinion and the answer to your question in my thread,

Cheers Jan. Very interesting research. I didn't realise there could be such certainty. Mine has unpainted ventilated bolts at side and steel bolts at rear, and is stamped Muller on the leather liner.

Hi eubank
Sounds to be a great helmet eubank, a smaller % were made in this configuration

You can just buy Brian Ice´s super book "German helmet lot numbers 1935-1945 ongoing research" and you will
be able to do the same calculations. The book is somewhat cheap compared to the wealth of info that are present in it,
and there´s a new updated version on the marked which I personally just ordered as the first book is SUPER.
Best Jan
