Recovered in the former Leningrad area of Russia (probably from a swampy ground) - Luftwaffe M40 helmet size 62 (but it was found with a size 64 liner installed. Also some small repair on the liner, which looks to be period done.
Only the shadow of the decal can be seen - probably soaked off in the wet/swampy environment.
It was sold as a winter camo helmet, but once again it looks more like südfront yellow. Or just got this yellow due to age (or and) conditions.
I would consider this more of a semi-relic helmet.

Cheers,
Fabe
