Original WWII M40 SS German combat helmet. The size 66 shell has no cracks, dents or holes. It does have some pitting, see photos. The helmet was repainted with correct. The shell is nice and solid.
The original decal was covered for protection when the shell was repainted and is untouched and is in its original as found condition. The markings on the inside of the skirt are hard to read due to area corrosion/paint etc. But it looks like Q66. I have measured the helmet and it is a size 66. My head measures about 23 ½ and the helmet fits me comfortably.
The WWII liner ring is from another helmet and is in poor condition. The leather is a new, aged, replacement. I dont remember the name of the town but remember it was about 30 minutes by train from Paris.For sale in the U.
