Description
This is an original WWII German M40 single decal Heer helmet. The inside brim is size stamped "Q66", along with the lot number of "2447", denoting production by the Quist, Esslingen factory. It showcases its original feldgrau factory finish. The interior retains its original size 59 leather liner, drawstring, and complete chinstrap. The chinstrap exhibits a steel buckle and is stamped with a "RBNr. 1/1000/0005" marking. The helmet's split pins and washers are all original and show no signs of tampering.

Condition Report
This helmet is in very good condition. Unfortunately, however, the Heer decal has almost completely worn away. It does not appear to have been intentionally removed, though, and its absence is likely the result of a poor lacquer application at the factory.
