Re: M40 Relic
Perhaps some of these battle damaged helmets may not have been on the owners'
heads at the time of impact, but if there was any kind of shooting..................
that's where MINE would be !
Pieter, thank you ! Please show us more of your great helmets !
I am on the look out for one like this now ! !
Regards,
Steve.

Even the heavy shell quist couldnt stop this bullet.
Re: M40 Relic
Seen some helmets which have damage consistant with being used for target practice which was a common thing with many of the ones that were left lying around after a Battle.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
