M40 ET64 Kreigsmarine

[Blackdog]

Hi Gents, I picked this up at a militeria show last week, its a sleeper out of Denmark (dealers words not mine), but I have to admit it is very salty, looks untouched for many a year and has that dusty, musty unmolested look to it, cobwebs still in liner. The decal has a consistant golden fleck under a loop, however I would like to hear what fellow collecters think?

Really nice helmet, love untouched helmets like this. A kriegsmarine helmet is still one that I have yet to own. Great find.

Looks gold to me. More than just a toned Heer for sure.....

Hi, a definite KM, the black edging that is clearly seen running around the Adler is the big give away and the golden tone is much deeper than a nicely toned HEER decal. All in all a fine example all ends up! Leon.

Thanks for the feedback guys, it was sold to me as a KM so I did not get it cheap, but I think I paid a fair price for it. It might not be a top shelf 'one looker' but I could not resist the complete, honest origninality about this one.
