WW2 GERMAN M40 HELMET With LINER & MESS KIT ESTATE ATTIC FRESH GI BRING BACK

THIS IS A GREAT WASHINGTON DC AREA ESTATE ATTIC OFFERING FOR A WW2 GERMAN MILITARY HELMET COLLECTION. IT'S A GERMAN MODEL 1940 (ROLLED EDGE) HELMET & ALUMINUM MESS KIT.

I WAS ADVISED BY THE ESTATE THAT THIS HELMET & MESS KIT WERE SENT BACK FROM EITHER FRANCE OR ITALY, DURING WW2, BY A US ARMY CORPORAL. THE HELMET RETAINS IT'S ORIGINAL LEATHER LINER.

THE INSIDE BACK BOTTOM RIM OF THE HELMET IS DATA STAMPED - SEE PHOTOS. THE LINER IS INK STAMPED - SEE PHOTOS. THE HELMET IS NOT BENT UP, DENTED UP, RUSTED OUT, CHOPPED UP OR MODIFIED. THE LEATHER LINER IS STILL PRESENT, BUT THE LEATHER IS CHALKING FROM BEING STORED IN A DRY ATTIC FOR MANY DECADES. THE HELMET'S ROUGH PAINT FINISH IS STILL WELL INTACT. THEY ARE NOT WORN OFF. IT LOOKS TO THIS LAYMAN LIKE THERE WERE NEVER ANY DECALS ON THE HELMET. THE MESS KIT IS NOT CRUSHED OR CRACKED.

THE BLACK OUTER PAINT MOSTLY REMAINS. THE TOP LOCKS ONTO THE BOTTOM PERFECTLY.

I HAVE NOT POLISHED UP OR TAMPERED WITH ANYTHING. I HOPE THIS PAIR GO TO A GOOD WW2 GERMAN COLLECTION. IT'S BEING OFFERED DIRECTLY FROM THE ESTATE & AS PICTURED HERE. ALL ITEMS I OFFER ARE FROM NUMEROUS EAST COAST ESTATES (MOSTLY FROM MARYLAND, WASHINGTON DC, VIRGINIA, NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA). I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL ESTATE PERSONAL PROPERTY CONSIGNMENT & LIQUIDATION LLC FOR 15 YEARS. YOU ARE SEEING ITEMS BROUGHT TO ME RIGHT OUT OF THE ESTATES.

I DO NOT TAMPER WITH ITEMS, POLISH UP ITEMS OR ALTER THEM IN ANY WAY. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I SEE. ALL ITEMS ARE BEING OFFERED AS FINAL SALES FROM ESTATE LIQUIDATION WITH ALL WEAR OF A USED VINTAGE ITEM. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM MINT IF I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT'S IN MINT CONDITION.

I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM RARE OR SCARCE IF I TRULY BELIEVE IT TO BE SO. THE ITEMS LISTED HERE ARE NOT BEING OFFERED LOCALLY AT THE SAME TIME. IE: IF A VALUABLE ITEM HAPPENS TO GO SUPER CHEAP, YOU GET IT CHEAP. MY AUCTIONS ARE STRAIGHT FORWARD.

MY DESCRIPTIONS ARE CLEARLY WRITTEN & PLAIN TO UNDERSTAND. I TAKE NUMEROUS EXCELLENT CLEAR CLOSE-UP PHOTOS OF THE ITEMS.

I USE PLAIN BACKGROUNDS AND SIMPLE PLAIN FONTS. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FLUFFY BORDERS, FANCY BACKGROUNDS, OVERBLOWN HYPE WORDING OR CONFUSING FANCY LETTERING FONTS TO PROMOTE HYPE IN ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ITEM APPEAR MORE SPECTACULAR THAN IT REALLY IS. COL LECTORS PLEASE DO NOT WORRY. THE ESTATES USUALLY PREFER STRAIGHT AUCTIONS TO FOLLOW THROUGH. SOMETIMES ITEMS DIE AND SOMETIMES THEY DO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OFFER.

I HOPE ALL OF MY ITEMS WILL GO TO PEOPLE WHO WILL ENJOY THEM. I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT A RETURN AND/OR TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM IF I DO MAKE A GROSS ERROR IN DESCRIPTION. IF I MADE NO GROSS ERRORS, THE ITEM IS AN ESTATE FINAL SALE.

THIS IS MERELY DUE TO THE ITEMS BEING ANTIQUES / VINTAGE / PRE-OWNED. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE THE ITEM ENDS. I TEST ALL WIND UP TYPE ITEMS & WATCHES AS BEST AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LISTING THEM. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I OBSERVE.

PLEASE NOTE: MANY OF MY ITEMS COME FROM BEING STORED IN OLD ESTATES FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SMELLS "OLD" TO SOMEONE, OR WHAT "SMELLS LIKE TOBACCO SMOKE" TO SOMEONE. MOST OF THE ITEM I OFFER ARE OLD.

JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY SMOKED BACK THEN. SOME OF MY ITEMS SAT FOR DECADES IN OLD ESTATE HOMES WHERE THERE WAS PROBABLY TOBACCO SMOKING GOING ON AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. THIS WILL COST A GOOD BIT MORE THAN NORMAL UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES. I DO NOT DO PICK-UPS AT ALL DUE TO A HORRIFIC BUSINESS SCHEDULING.
