    Reissued Czech helmet with little swastika marks ?

    Hi all,

    I just came across this helmet. The source and price is very good, so I dont think it is messed up in anyway.
    The helmet has its original Czech factory finish but has 3 small eagle and swastika stamps in a circle, left of the eagle is a "D" and right an "R". There are two stamps on the right side near the chinstrap and one on the opposite site. Has any of you seen a similliar marking ?

    What could it mean ???

    Many thanks, Jens

              It is supposed to mean Deutsches Reichsbahn. I have never seen stamps like this on anything.

                Thanks Chris, this sounds logical. Do you mean that they are fake stamps ? I cannot say for sure myself but it was very very cheap and not from a collector.

                Many thanks Jens

                  I don't know if they are real but I have never seen anything marked this way. Maybe they are real, they don't look to have been applied too recently.

                    "DR"it could also mean "Deutsches Reich". The Czech helmets were used in Germany for the Luftschutz too.
