Picked this up from Chris Jones about 20 years ago, clearly a battle worn single decal M40 Heer complete with slightly damaged liner and shortened chin strap. The left chin strap bale is gone and there is some apparent damage to the small aluminum rivets that hold the leather to the band in that area which suggests to me that the helmet was forcefully torn away from a mooring to which the strap was attached. It may have been torn from the head of the wearer by an exploding shell??? Anyway, the liner is a size 55 so it is a size 62 shell but the maker/size stamp can’t be made out. The lot number is 31458. I believe that it is actually an EF shell based upon the way the lot number was stamped into the apron. There are the faint remnants of a dome stamp but I can’t make it out. The decal is fairly intact. A decent example in my humble opinion. Hope you like it. Jim G.
