Hi all. Just wanted to share some photos of this beautiful M40 which arrived today. I’m not usually one for relics, but it was love at first sight haha unfortunately maker and batch info are lost however first two (of four) digits are 57. Liner is gone as well.

Congratulations!

A beautiful example indeed. I would consider this one to be in a semi relic condition.

Best regards- Jarret

Now that's a beauty! Leagues above most relic helmets. Every relic has collector value, but this one is a true time capsule that really speaks. Congratulations on a nice find!

Regards, B.B.

Agreed and thank you B.B.! I’m very happy to have this one on the shelf; it’s quite special for what it is.
