The pot maker's marks are not visible, possibly covered by the layers of paint, although somespecialistsYoindicate that helmets manufactured before World War II (1935-1939) lacked manufacturer's markings:
​
"The helmets lacked markings, but during the war, different manufacturers marked them with initials that provided their identification and origin.
With rare exceptions, the M35s were stamped with an alphanumeric number that allowed the manufacturer and the size of the helmet to be identified."
