Wehrmacht (Heer) M40 Winter Camouflage Combat Helmet (Stahlhelm M40). The stamped sheet steel construction M40 helmet retains most of its rough textured white winter camouflage overpaint, you can clearly see the brush strokes in the paint. The paint shows normal wear and scratches caused by usage, see photos. All three liner retaining rivets are intact. The interior of the helmet has a M31 leather liner. The liner is size '57' marked, the drawstring is missing. The shell is marked with maker and size 'Q64' which indicates production by the company 'F.W. Quist, G.m.b.H.' in Esslingen. The reverse interior neck guard apron has a stamped serial number '0065'. The helmet is complete with it's original regrettably damaged and incomplete chinstrap having an aluminum adjustment buckle and both aluminum retaining studs are present. The helmet is in used and uncleaned condition as found, see photos. Nice and honest original winter camouflaged M40 combat helmet!
