A friend of mine who collects helmets is after this helmet, but I have doubts about the decal being authentic. Please tell me what you think, thank you.

Look's good IMO
But, don't buy it before you get more comments on this one.
as I said, look's good :P
Thanks, is the rounded bottom of the decal not an issue?
Tom
I can't see any problems with this, but wait for someone else with better knowledge than me! I'm no expert, but I have a few of these.
Looks OK but tell him to try to get pics without the swastika blocked out.
gday tom, the decal looks ok from these pics. The liner pins look very loose and the earlier reinforced aluminium liner although not unheard of in m40's, could point to a replaced liner system post war.........i dont think its even got a rear liner pin
sorry if im telling you stuff you already know as you just asked for decal info
regards paul
Thanks Paul. It seems I was mistaken about the rounded bottom decal being a problem. :-)
As a matter of interest, I took some cellphone pics (very bad ones) of some of my friends headgear collection.

First is a KM M40, second a nice apple green DD M35, a overpainted M40 in dunkelgelb and a nice Infantry peak cap.
Tom
Nice cap! the insignia is very nice I must get a display case like his.
Cheers, Pat
