M40 Kriegsmarine Single Decal Helmet

[Max Hansen]

All original, enhanced or modified in any way.It is as it was in May 1945. Retains much of original field gray factory rough texture paint, M1931 liner, size 59. Liner leather is supple. Name of soldier is clearly written on liner leather, 'E. Mrosek'. Drawstring is present. Original, full chinstrap is good overall with some rust on the buckle. Strap in maker marked 'O. Reichel, Lengefeld, 43. The Q type KM decal rates at about 60% and has beautiful toning. Looks like a Vet may have scraped off the swastika, but decal remains stable and is not flaking. Very desirable Q66 with a lot number of DN121.


Enjoy, Max

Hi Samir,

Thanks for the kind words, the KM is really a cool helmet.
Thanks also for the postings on Wehrmacht, which I joined buy I couldn't comment yet. There are a couple of people on there that I need to speak to.
Some maniac told Doug I offered him the M40 SS!

Your both getting lost in translation, Chris, Max is agreeing that it may not be an attempt to remove the swastika but real damage, Max, Chris thinks it was his name being mentioned about telling Doug
