Luftwaffe M40 Single Decal Combat Helmet (Stahlhelm M40). The steel construction M40 helmet retains most of its rough textured, blue-gray paint and about 75% of the decal. The helmet shows some surface rust and remains in uncleaned condition as found. All three liner retaining rivets are intact. The interior of the helmet is a M31 leather liner with all eight fingers intact, the leather is still supple, the liner cord is missing. The shell is marked with maker and size 'ET64'. 'ET' is indicating production by the 'Eisen-und Hüttenwerke, AG' from Thale/Harz. The reverse interior neck guard apron has a stamped lot-number '1112'. The helmet is complete with its original damaged/broken leather chinstrap as found together. Nice untouched original Luftwaffe helmet in good used condition!
