WWII German Helmet Shell Dome Acceptance Stamps:
Forget water transfer dome acceptance stamps they were never used in WW2. This is the real deal and can be used over and over again. This stamp will allow you to mark in indelible ink the acceptance office for the M35, M38, M40 or M42 helmet.
We like to sell as authentic replica helmet items as possible and this stamp is no exception.
The research gone into these stamps does not stop here, you will find that the size and characters are identical to genuine stamps, you could say this is a genuie stamp but just made after WWII.
Remember stick on or transfer dome stamps were NEVER used during WWII, they were all hand stamped with rubber pads such as this one.
This stamp can be used "as is", as it has an adhesive back, but we recommend mounting it on thick cardboard, foam, wood or similar material to allow re-use and easier application. Full instructions can be found here.
