M40 post war?

[lelechera]

Hello
Could be original war or post war production?

[Sir Payne]

Definitely a post war helmet, no doubt about it. I would say original shell, everything else is repro. The dead give away is the M-1943 stamp. The Germans did not refer to their helmets as m1934, m1940, m1942, etc etc. Also the liner is in perfect condition, unless this one was frozen or placed in a time machine, it is a reproduction. Even the best Mint conditioned original liners show wear along the folded edge. You should post pictures of the two decals.

I'm not sure about the shell but the liner is 4th Reich

Helmet hs no air vents. Liner leather has forehead air perforations. Definitly post war production.

Post war, the liner is dead give away.
Cheers.

Definitely post war. The paint and liner give away.

Post war production I'm afraid. Both the helmet and the liner.
