    Just picked this nd m40 semi relic up and thought I would share, it's complete with liner and chin which turn black from being found in a bog/swamp area and took 2 massive hits in back, now story goes this is haunted and why the guy wanted to get rid of it but really don't believe in that, outside looks black but just the way it was found,but anyways here's pics I should have it in hand by Saturday

    Some collectors don't like these so-called 'KIA' helmets. Personally, I think that they're reflective of the horrors of war. A relic with holes torn through it does more to convey the grisly nature of conflict than an intact one ever can.
    The preservative nature of swamps never cease to amaze me. The things that can be pulled out of them, even hundreds of years later, and still be intact are incredible.

    The damage was likely done by shrapnel, the holes look far too messy to be direct bullet hits. But the owner didn't stand much chance at that.

    Very nice helmet! I also have a M40 that was pulled from a bog. It amazes me how well preserved these relics can be if left in the right conditions. Congratulations on this new addition!

    Best regards- Jarret
