Re: WW2 M40 Helmet - Is it right?
Price is about ballpark IMO - except the nagging issue of the black paint would cause me to hesitate.

Re: WW2 M40 Helmet - Is it right?
For $350 you can find one with an original intact liner and not in barn relic condition to the paint and metal. I would heed Franks advice and await a nicer example. ww2germanhelmets.com has sold some nice no decal M42s the past few months, they seem to go in waves.

, usually HJ wore the smaller sizes for obvious reasons, make sure the price is right.
I wouldn't say that I have 62 helmets of all branches Polizei , SS , Heer , LW , Kriegsmarine. People were a lot different and more lean back then , ate less sugars and generally had more excercise.
64 would be the most common size then the graph drops on both ends to 66 and 62 (although I think there are more 62's than 66's). The 60 , 68 and expecially the 70 are the rarer sizes. But again I've seen 60 DD Heer helmets , not for the HJ for sure.
If you'd compare these results with Pickelhaubes of the 1st WW you'd see that sizes again were a little bit smaller. If you visit a medieval castle you'd think we were dwarfs once ;-)

Hobbits Frank, Hobbits. Dwarves have more hair and are a lot fatter.
