Here are my feeble attempts to capture the writing/markings on the front and rear. I tried to manipulate the photos to show the markings so the color is off a bit.

The schrapnel damage is impressive. I have often pondered whether the damage on mine is from counter battery fire or tac air, given the size of the damage. Same with yours. Oh well, in most cases we'll never know.

nice collection of battle damaged helmets

Russian, Czech, Polish, East German
