This is the current state of my collection at 18 before I try to sell most of it to fund my dream helmet. I make posts like this every couple of months to just share how my collection has changed. Thanks for looking!

Battlefield relic M42 after a proper derusting

I recently posted about this helmet on here, assuming that it was a winter camo version, after giving it a bath in oxalic acid. However I decided that it was worth a shot to try some limestone remover on it, as someone had mentioned in the comments of my first post that the white stuff might be that- and it worked, showing me a tiny bit of original green paint at the top. I immediately mixed up another acid bath and put the helmet in for a few hours. After a bit of brushing with soap I was left with this: A much cleaner looking relic, showing decent amounts of original paint, compared to the white mess it was before. I’ve read online that you should coat derusted relics like this in oil. Any specific suggestions?

Hey guys i recently picked this up and i thought i would share, this helmet smelled like mouse piss when I got it and super rusty. After carefully cleaning it and getting the mouse poop out it turned out good. I put some zip ties in to hold the 2 liner pads in that were about to fall out and it was missing a split pin so I put a bolt in there to help hold the liner up

Can you please help me identify, and tell me more about its possible history? It was obviously painted black with some visible brush strokes. ET 64 stamped inside. Can't find any more markings. Thank you.

This is my what I belive is the m35 but Im not completly sure. It got a heavy paint layer so the production stamps are barely visable but at the back of my helmet it says the number "3521". I have not found any other stamps such as the size or manufactor because they most likley are underneth all the paint. The helmet got a crack in the forehead too that Im unsure what came from. Also the helmet cover is a repro.

Not great pictures but I would like some help identifying exactly what this helmet is, no markings under the band it is just there to help hold the rivets.
