Description

This is an original WWII German M40 single decal Heer helmet. The inside brim is faintly size stamped "ET62", along with the lot number of "803", denoting production by the Eisenhüttenwerke, Thale factory. Following combat use, it underwent a wartime refurbishment, where the helmet was painted inside and out in a textured feldgrau finish and a new original Heer decal was applied. Adhered to the wearer's left side are the apparent remnants of a shipping label applied by the American veteran prior to mailing the helmet home as a souvenir. The interior retains its original leather liner. The helmet's split pins and washers are all original and show no signs of tampering.

Condition Report



Fair

Good

Excellent

This helmet is in good, combat-used condition. There is minor surface rust in its interior. The leather liner retains all of its tongues; however, its drawstring, chinstrap, and a few of its split pins are missing. This helmet displays quite nicely with its original decal still relatively intact.
