Original WW2 German M40 SD Camo Helmet Named and Inscribed No Reserve

An original Single Decal M40 helmet that was taken off a. Unteroffizier back in the day.

Remnants of the Heer decal can be seen in pic #5. The metal and leather liner are still present and in tact.

But at least one, maybe both (I don't have the helmet in front of me), of the chin strap rings are still there. What makes this one even more special is an inscription from the GI who confiscated it. It is addressed April 8, 1945. As is seen in the second to last picture (#11), most of the inscription is worn by time.

But with the right light and digital correction more of it could probably be deciphered. I have no idea how to price this artifact. So I'm leaving it up to the market (you) to determine its value. To confirm; both chin strap rings are attached. The item "Original WW2 German M40 SD Camo Helmet Named and Inscribed No Reserve" is in sale since Thursday, June 02, 2016.
