M40 Heer Camo I picked up at the last fair

**Schwerpunkt** · 09-15-2018, 03:11 PM

Here's a nice used camo I picked up at a fair in Holland a couple of weeks ago.
I saw it , wanted it , walked around and could not leave without it.

It's an NS62 - D178 with a yes ! 1939 dated alu liner.

Phew uploading photos one by is a real pain I must say.

Click enlarge twice to see the best quality photo.

When one sees an example such as this..a "one looker", you just can't go home without it. This type patina/paint cannot be faked.
Nice score !!

Lovely wear and aging - the colour is nice too. Not surprised you had to have it, I would too.

Great helmet!

I particularly like the paint run on the front of the helmet. It appears that it was painted while upside-down. Since there is no disturbance to the top of the dome paint, it probably was suspended; maybe by the chinstrap.

It's neat when small details can tell us something about what was going on the day a helmet was painted, or what may have been involved in the procedure.
