252 - German M18 Stahlhelm with cutouts. Beautiful shell with its anti-glare feldgrau paint. Although barely visible, the E.T.64 marking is clearly present; this was the only manufacturer and the only size that ever existed for this type of helmet. Note the presence of a “62” marking near the “E.T.64.” Good-condition 1918-model liner consisting of 32 white leather panels pressed onto an iron rim, complete with yellow canvas straps and padding. Good-condition detachable chin strap, riveted to the short side, complete. The buckle’s protective tab is marked with the name of a rare manufacturer, BAGIER & Co. DRESDEN. The rivets and their external locations on the shell show signs of handling. The liner was replaced at some point during the helmet’s lifetime, but all components are authentic. Signs of normal wear and patina. German M1918 ear-cutout Stahlhelm. Fine helmet shell retaining its non-reflective field-gray paint.
