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 Heeres decal is applied to the left side of the helmet, the decal is retained for about 90%. The decal is nicely gold toned due to age. 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 a bit dry. The liner is complete with its original liner cord. The shell is marked with maker and size 'EF66' which indicates production by the company 'Emaillerwerke AG' from Fulda. The reverse interior neck guard apron has a stamped serial number '7309'. The helmet is complete with its original slightly damaged (broken) chinstrap. The helmet is in original untouched and uncleaned condition as found. Nice and honest original M40 combat helmet in good used condition!
