Hi.Can anyone recognise this type of helmet please.Is it post war and is it German?
The skirt is stamped NS 66 and 7373.There are no markings on the strap.

This is an Stahlhelm 35 (the year of type classification 1935) produced 1941 you can tell by the stamped air vent and very high serial number. The bead around the middle indicates a factory reject. So it was taken along with 100 others in the same batch and beaded when a random sample from the batch failed inspection. The batch were then given to Luftshutz so that there would be no waste.

Post war helmets do not have the beads.

Franco,
Not really good. The decal seems bad and the paint might be fresh as well.
