    Hello,
    a M40 helmet with the ear cut and four air vents.....
    If there is one item in the world that we would like to see pix posted here, IMO that's the one...
    Thanks

    Hi the helmet is on pages 138,139,140,141,of Branislav Radovics book on ww2 germman helmets of the the second ww!There are six pictures of it.It has a standard 31 pattern liner ,and strap,although it says some come with a padded upper shell ,and y straps.Its further interesting to see it painted in red which looks period ,and a second pattern luft decal is oddly above the front peak.It has numbers inside which read 011-64.AS I SAID BEFORE IF SOMEONE DOSNT BEAT ME TO IT I WILL TRY, AND HAVE IT ON THE SITE AT The WEEKEND,oops sorry for shouting !!
