Original German WWII M40 SD Luftwaffe Helmet
Up for sale is a very nice and original German WWII M40 SD Luftwaffe helmet. This helmet has a very honest patina with a great combat veteran look! The shell has aged naturally with consistent wear throughout the exterior and interior. The Luftwaffe decal is roughly 90% complete with typical cracking of the decal.
Turning towards the insides of the helmet, we can note an original leather liner and complete chinstrap. The leather liner still is in good condition with minor tearing and cracking around the brim. Interestingly we can still see the darkened sweat stains from when this helmet was issued. Under the leather liner oddly the dome of the shell is quite heavily rusted. We are unsure exactly why this occurred, although believe the helmet had moisture pooled there at one point. All together a very solid and honest lid that would look great in any collection!
