I bought this helmet. I can't read the whole writing. Does anybody know if this is a m42 or an m40? Any help would greatly be appreciated

Your pictures are not great but I'm leaning towards m42..check this link and examine your helmet...

Yes, that's what I was thinking too. It's not rolled up on the edges, just a flat surface. Thank you for the info
