WW2 German M40 combat camouflage helmet US Army military estate Normandy camo

Here is your chance to own a German WWII M40 combat helmet. This Q64 is what is referred to as a concrete style finish in a Normandy scheme.

The shell is named to an Obgfr Steinmetz. The coloration on this one is amazing. The shell unfortunately has a hairline crack on the top of it as can be seen in the photos and a ding to the rear rim. I have placed a US dime for size comparison. The split-pins are untouched and there are even remnants of spider egg sacks in between the ring and shell - undisturbed.

The size 56 leather liner is in good overall condition and is authentic as is everything about this piece though it was professionally added to the shell. Several experts have looked at this example and do not believe the liner was added. As stated the split-pins are 100% untouched in every way. If this helmet does not sell here at my asking price I will have no problem keeping it in my collection. With 99% of the other lids on this site being absolutely laughable, this one-looker original is a diamond in the rough.

I photographed this helmet with a strip of MG42 ammo and a camo gas mask canister for display purposes only and these items are not included in the sale whatsoever. This is a scarce item to be found on the open market. Everything about this helmet is absolutely guaranteed authentic! I never grade my items as mint, even though may be. If for any reason you require additional photos, please do not hesitate to ask. View My Other Items For Sale. Get Images that Make Supersized Seem Small.
