How to Measure German Helmets
- 1). Place the helmet on a flat surface. If handling an antique helmet, place a soft cloth under the helmet to protect it while you measure it.
- 2). Place the "0" end of the measuring tape in one spot on the helmet.
- 3). Pull the measuring tape across the helmet tightly. If you are measuring the height of the helmet, start at the back and pull the tape over the spine of the helmet to the brim. If measuring the inside circumference, hold the end in one spot and pull the tape along the inside of the brim. If you are looking for other measurements, choose two spots and span the tape between them.
- 4). Make note of the number at the end of the tape.
