And acquired by myself in 2011 .
The chin strap has a combat repair .

ET Runes are the best !!
Very nice.
Looks good , but deserves better pics.
Like the repair job. And lots of decal
I really need a nice m40 SS...
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Mr. lufty.
Not for nothing, but this helmet from what I can see would have been a very interesting item for discussion if your pics were better. Maybe some of us could have come to a conclusion why the split pin was replaced, "battle damage", KIA helmet, etc.etc. The chinstrap repair with detailed pics would have made for an interesting discussion possibly for a few of us.
From what I can see...I would be proud having this one on my shelf. But with these pics, I Would not buy this helmet unless better pics were sent to me

Nice it is. Lot# 178 it looks like, & the earlier darker, lightly textured paint probably came out in 1941. So had a few years of wear in the field. Overall wear inside & out is matching so this is what I call "A well balanced helmet". Love it !!
Hi, just seen this, a very nice ET SS M40, a real combat vet and nice field repairs. Thanks for showing it. Leon.
