WH (Heer) M40 SD Combat Helmet
Wehrmacht (Heer) M40 Single Decal Combat Helmet (Stahlhelm M40). The stamped sheet steel construction M40 helmet retains most of its rough textured, field-grey paint. The paint shows normal wear and scratches caused by usage, see photos. A standard (NS) Heeres decal is applied to the left side of the helmet, the decal is retained for about 95%. All three liner retaining rivets are intact. The interior of the helmet has a M31 leather liner. The liner is size '55' marked, the drawstring is missing. The shell is marked with maker and size 'NS62' which indicates production by the company 'Vereinigte Deutsche Nickelwerke AG' in Schwerte. A nice dome-stamp is visible inside the helmet shell. The reverse interior neck guard apron has a stamped serial number 'D190'. There are some normal damages and scratches caused by usage. The helmet is complete with its original leather chinstrap. Nice and honest original M40 combat helmet in very good condition!
