Luftwaffe M40 Woodchip Camouflage Combat Helmet (Stahlhelm M40). The steel construction M40 helmet retains almost all of its rough woodchip/sawdust textured red-brown and green coloured camouflage (field-applied) overpaint, it's hard to see if there is a decal beneath the thick overpaint. All three liner retaining rivets are intact. The interior of the helmet is a M31 leather liner in good condition, the original liner cord is present, the liner is a size '55'. The shell is marked with maker and size 'EF62'. 'EF' is indicating production by the 'Emaillerwerke AG' in Fulda. The reverse interior neck guard apron has a stamped serial number '10288'. The helmet is complete with it's original chinstrap having a aluminum adjustment buckle and both aluminum retaining studs are present, the chinstrap is faintly maker marked. A soldier's name 'Heller' is painted in the rim of the helmet. There are normal traces of wear and usage. Hard to find original Luftwaffe Camouflage Helmet, this one would be great for a Luftwaffe Field Division display. Scarce untouched original Luftwaffe camouflaged helmet in good used condition!
