My Biggest One Yet!

Very nice lid.

I like the larger sizes, but usually see only 62's and 64's.........

And that's why I was excited to see this was an ET68. I have one or two 66's, but no 68. Maybe I'll get lucky and run into a 70 sometime.

I really like these big helmets as well. This one is a gem. Nice pick up. Jim G.

Not within my collecting scope but I can appreciate something that looks good. This looks good! No, great! Nice helm, looks tempting to own one. Nice shots, BTW.

So the rivets are a little loose, and so one of the liner tongues
is ripped - So what - I'd take this helmet any day.........!

Unfortunately, three of the liner tongue tips are completely separated, it just didnt show in the pics. The drawstring keeps it all together. Other than that, it's a great example of a worn M40 combat helmet. The man I bought it from said he had considered gluing the leather tips back together

. He got an education about NOT doing that, EVER. He got the point.
