The exterior of this German helmet retains about 98% of the original dark blue paint. The helmet retains the original split pin rivets. The Luftschutz decal is clean and 97% complete with only a couple very minor scuffs.

    The inner skirt is maker marked RL2 39/11. In addition there is a paint stamp that reads:

    Vertrieb genehmigt
    gemäß § 8 Luftschutzgesetz
    Kopfweite 56

    This stamp appears to be a distribution stamp, which translates to: Highest Price 8 Reichsmark. Distribution approved according to Section 8 Air protection legislation. Head Width 56.
