US captured ‘vet art’ German Helmet

Description

US captured ‘vet art’ German Wehrmacht (Heer) M40 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. All three liner retaining rivets are intact. The interior of the helmet is an M31 leather liner with eight fingers. The liner cord is missing. The helmet is complete with slightly damaged chinstrap. The shell is marked with maker and size 'Q64' which indicates production by the company 'F.W. Quist, G.m.b.H.' from Esslingen. The reverse interior neck guard apron has a stamped serial number 'DN519'. The US veteran who captured this helmet and took it home as a souvernir painted "GERMANY" above a Swastika flag on front of the helmet. The painting has been done very detailed, see close up photos. Decorative original 'vet-art' helmet!
