Re: My M40 Luftwaffe SD helmet
Nice reissue mate, liner might be blood damage from the dark localised staining around the worst of the damage. It might be the pics but the decal looks like it might be touched up?
A good salty veteran overall, I like the look of her

Re: My M40 Luftwaffe SD helmet
I can see where Andy is coming from on the decal. I have been staring at the decal for a while now. I don't see any red flags to say its bad, but a lot of key areas are missing or distorted. I'd say its a good reissue. Decal could be touched up, could not be, but it really doesn't take away from the overall look. Good looking reissue helmet. These are fun to collect as they all have their own unique look and features.

Re: My M40 Luftwaffe SD helmet
Thanks for your comments fellas. In hand, the area of white on the birds left shoulder looks to be where someone has attempted to clean the decal at some point, I have often wondered about the prominent outline of the decal though, possibly touched in with a fine brush at some point?? Not recently though. I would agree that it takes nothing from the overall appearance of the helmet though, it'll definitely be in my collection for a long time, cheers, Chris.

Nice overpainted LW helmet, I agree that the outline of the decal looks to have been redone at some time.

Re: My M40 Luftwaffe SD helmet
A helmet with plenty of character,a fine addition to any shelf!! As for the decal,i too think it's original to the helmet but has had a bit of a paint job done to it.

Re: My M40 Luftwaffe SD helmet
There are some variations of the Luftwaffe second pattern decal with a dark outline like this, but so far I agree with what everyone else has said, this one looks touched up.

Re: My M40 Luftwaffe SD helmet
lovely helmnet! Thanks for sharing it with us. Those lids really can tell history much more than any mint lid could ever do.
