WW2 GERMAN M40 HELMET ET64 with ORIGINAL LINER and PAINTED SOLDIERS' NAME

This is an original German M40 rolled rim helmet. I bought it at a garage sale back in the 1980's. I knew it was a repaint, as the exterior paint does not match the interior.

But now that I look closely at it, the gray-green paint is naturally worn. At the rim, and has that freckled loss of paint look, typical of service wear and tear. I really have to believe this helmet was refurbished and re-issued at some stage in its life. The interior is definitely all original, there is surface rusting over the dark green paint.

The soldiers name is painted at the back of the skirt in 1 white letters. Stamped marks include ET64 on the side and 1200 at the rear.

Suspension system and liner is original but leather has deteriorated over the years. Ive tried to get you good pics of the helmet, but if you need any other detail photos, please let me know!
