The process required a fresh recess hole to be drilled and the cup re-set. A purpose made wooden plug was glued into the hole completing the process. As the stocks were all removed there is no consistency as which stock was fitted to A or B pattern, so they will be found on any pattern. Wherever possible the old components were re-used, and the \"E-M\" designation originally marked on many of the parts betrays today its original pedigree often scored through thus: E-M. The A pattern trigger assembly, designed to accept the E-M\"s safety was reamed to remove the original configuration, whilst Receivers and butt stocks of the old pattern had an extra Roman numeral \"V\" stamped alongside the original \"I\", whilst newly made but un-used components have a distinctive \"IV\" classification. A new pattern clearing rod, designed to spring into place and to be suitable with use of the new steel jag was installed and the nosecap was redesigned, however it was decided to retain to old pattern Barleycorn on Block foresight on the pattern \"A\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMartini Henry MkIV pattern B \u0026amp; C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Enfields' records throw into confusion as to what happened to the 49,902 Pattern B .402\" arms manufactured, these rifles required less conversion, the obvious re-bore to .577\/450 calibre, and apart from sighting alteration and re-tooling of the extractor it was a far easier task to convert.

The M42 has an unrolled rim to further cut time and machinery needs in helmet production. The M35 was produced until mid-1940 when the helmet manufacturers switched their tooling to produce the M40 version. During 1942 the specifications for a rolled rim were eliminated and manufacturers began switching to the M42 version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHistory of the German WW2 Helmet-\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStahlhelm (plural Stahlhelme) is German for \"steel helmet\". The Imperial German Army began to replace the traditional boiled leather Pickelhaube (spiked combat helmet) with the Stahlhelm during World War I in 1916. The term Stahlhelm refers both to a generic steel helmet, and more specifically to the distinctive (and iconic) German design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stahlhelm, with its distinctive \"coal scuttle\" shape, was an instantly recognizable icon for military imagery and became a common element of military propaganda on both sides, just like the Pickelhaube before it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWW2 Helmet Models-\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eM1935\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1934 tests began on an improved Stahlhelm, whose design was a development of World War I models. The Eisenhüttenwerke company of Thale carried out prototype design and testing, with Dr. Friedrich Schwerd.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new helmet was pressed from sheets of molybdenum steel in several stages. The size of the flared visor and skirt was reduced, and the large projecting lugs for the obsolete armor shield were eliminated. The ventilator holes were retained, but were set in smaller hollow rivets mounted to the helmet's shell. The edges of the shell were rolled over, creating a smooth edge along the helmet. Finally, a completely new leather suspension, or liner, was incorporated that greatly improved the helmet's safety, adjustability, and comfort for each wearer. These improvements made the new M1935 helmet lighter, more compact, and more comfortable to wear than the previous designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Army's Supreme Command officially accepted the new helmet on June 25, 1935 and it was intended to replace all other helmets in service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver 1 million M1935 helmets were manufactured in the first two years after its introduction, and millions more were produced until 1940 when the basic design and production methods were changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eM1940\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M1935 design was slightly modified in 1940 to simplify its construction; the manufacturing process now incorporating more automated stamping methods. The principal change was to stamp the ventilator hole mounts directly onto the shell, rather than utilizing separate fittings. In other respects, the M1940 helmet was identical to the M1935. The Germans still referred to the M1940 as the M1935, while the M1940 designation were given by collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eM1942\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M1942 design was a result of wartime demands. The rolled edge on the shell was eliminated, creating an unfinished edge along the rim. This edge slightly flared out, along the base of the skirt. The elimination of the rolled edge expedited the manufacturing process and reduced the amount of metal used in each helmet. Shell paint colors towards the end of the war typically ran to matte gray-green, and the decals were gradually eliminated to speed up production and reduce the helmet's combat visibility. Greater manufacturing flaws were also observed in M42 helmets made late in the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWW2 German Helmet Manufactures Shell Markings-\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn virtually all WWII German helmets you will also see the size stamp after the Manufacturing mark, such as Q66. In this case, you have a helmet manufactured by the Quist firm, size 66 cm. The sizes ran from very small of 60 cm, up to 70 cm. The majority of the WWII German helmets were manufactured in size 62, 64, and 66. Size 60 helmets as well as size 70 helmets are nearly impossible to find.

Five independently owned metal fabrication plants accomplished this massive effort with experience in steel production. The largest producer of steel helmets (Stahlhelme) was the firm of Eisenhüttenwerke located in the city of Thale. The Thale firm and its engineers played a major role in the initial design and prototyping of the M1935 steel combat helmet. Production records indicate that nearly 20 Million helmets were manufactured between early 1939 and May 1944. Beginning as early as 1935, manufacturers began marking their helmet shells with the initials of the factory or company names. Over the course of time, several of these changed making it initially appear as though there were more than five manufacturers. The change in the factory designated name and marking had to do with the fact that the company names changed. These factory names were stamped directly into the helmet shell using two or three letters. Next to the letters was stamped the metric shell size of the helmet. In addition to these markings, helmets also received a stamped number in the rear center of the helmet's flange or skirt. This second set of numbers indicated the production number of the entire lot to which the helmet could be attributed. In some cases, the Quist firm also produced helmets bearing a \"DN\" stamp in the same location. The \"DN\" referred to the patent identification associated with the helmet's model or type. It should be noted that on occasion a helmet might be found bearing no markings whatsoever. If the helmet is a wartime shell, the explanation generally falls into to possibilities. The first is that the markings are there but shallow or buried beneath a thick coat of paint. The second relates to the fact that some helmets do not appear to have been marked at all. This may be related to a factory error, or something done intentionally. No clear rational has been found to explain this uncommon occurrence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWartime manufactured German combat helmets were stamped with an alpha-numeric code under the flared rim of the helmet (often referred to as the skirt). This was done in order to help identify the shell size and maker. These markings were always placed in one of two places; the center of the left underside rim or the center rear of the skirt. This alpha-numeric code contained both the maker's initials and the metric shell size of the helmet in a single line. These markings were placed on all helmets made during World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe numbers denoting the maker's mark and shell size were was placed on the left side of the helmet under the flared skirt. In cases where a given manufacturer chose to place their factory code markings on the rear skirt, the production code number always fell below the alpha-numeric factory code. The firm of Quist moved their maker's marks to the rear of the helmet sometime during 1942 or 1943. These marks remained in that location for the duration of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the factory maker code markings, a second set of stamps were placed into the shell to denote which production run (or lot number) the helmet had come from. Virtually all wartime manufactured helmets have the production run number stamped into the shell. Only a handful of helmets do not and the reason for this remains unknown. Combat helmets show the markings at the rear of the helmet as do civic model helmets used by non-combat related organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe production run number generally took the form of three or four digits representing the production run that a given helmet came from. The production run number is sometimes referred to as a \"lot number\" or more specifically a \"serial number.\" Occasionally helmets were also stamped with a \"DN\" above the production code at the back of the skirt. The \"DN\" was a patent mark that indicated that the helmet was manufactured in Germany. German wartime era helmets did not receive any shell stamping marks other than those described here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHistory the German \u0026amp; Finnish Alliance-\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1938 Finland became very concerned with Stalin's Soviet expansionism and turned to Great Britain and France for support. Both Countries were under supplied themselves so Finland, perhaps reluctantly turned to NSDAP Germany for aid. AH was swift to assist supplying great quantities of materiel including thousands of German Battle Helmets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Russians invaded Finland in 1939 driving deep into the country. The Finns resisted with amazing tenacity that has been the subject of legend and the wonderful WW2 Movie \"THE WINTER WAR\" (offered by IMA). The Russians paid a very heavy price and sued for peace in early 1940 keeping the invaded areas of Finland. Finland totally exhausted agreed with great regret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the summer of 1941 AH’s NSDAP War Machine invaded the Soviet Union driving everything before them. Finland whom had received so much help from Germany then rose up and drove the Soviet presence out of Finland. However Finland would not \"invade\" the Soviet Union, they declared themselves not to be aggressors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is true however that the Germans recruited great numbers of Finnish \"Volunteers\" for their \"SS UNITS\" that did invade Mother Russia but that was true of all the overrun European Countries and even some others, still independent including apparently England and the United States, although these number were said to be very low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the close of WW2 with Germany defeated Finland was highly penalized by the Soviet Union, again gave up the lost territory of 1939\/40 but did manage to retain it's independence unlike so much of Eastern Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"No","offer_id":25613169733,"sku":"GG4068","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Yes","offer_id":25613169797,"sku":"GG4068","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/products\/gg4068__1.jpg?v=1600101349"},{"product_id":"british-enfield-p-1937-web-carry-case-sling","title":"British Enfield P-1937 Web Carry Case \u0026 Sling","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew Made Item: British P-1937 Khaki Enfield Rifle web carrying case with outside pocket for cleaning kit.

It was a deeper helmet with a smaller brim and provided 38% more protection than the Mark II, particularly at the sides. The Mark III helmet was issued primarily to assault troops for the Normandy invasion in June 1944, and a large number of helmets from British stocks were issued to the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division in addition to British units. Small numbers also went to the 2nd and 4th Canadian Divisions. All Mark III helmets in Canadian stores were returned to the UK shortly after the end of the Second World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mk III was itself replaced close to the end the war by the Mark IV helmet, which it closely resembled. The differences were that the rivets attaching the chinstrap to the helmet were placed much lower down on the shell and the use of a 'lift the dot' fastener for the liner. These modifications allowed the Mk IV to be utilized for carrying water. The Mark IV helmet was eventually replaced by the Mark V, which looked similar to the MK IV, but had a more padded liner. The Mark V was used until the late-1980s at which point the British replaced all steel helmets with the Mark 6, which was made from nylon fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach helmet comes complete with steel bowl, original liner and original chin strap.
