Scotch Harry Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hello Gary,dont think there was a regulation size and some were also square i believe. Will double check my book PAINTED STEEL POTS to make 100% sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoranWC51 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Here's an excellent picture showing how diverse these markings could be: Goran N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoranWC51 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 More helmet markings: Notice the crudely applied markings on the helmet in the last picture. I'd guess that some medic's wanted markings to stand out so they could be seen. Others opted for as small as they could make them, after having been shot at....

gas 44 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Thankyou so far. I was thinking about making a template for the circle about the size of a c/d dvd which looking at those pictures looks not TOO far away. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 11-12 cm should be fine. See example of a medic helmet made by me; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
