[Nmilitaria]

Hello Collectors,

Today i got my second Heer helmet in nice combat vet with a lot of character, i only have to find a nice chinstrap and the lid is complete.. what kind of chinstrap do you guys recommend for this M40?

Enjoy the pics!

Hey Nick,
Looks like another nice one, are you sure it's not another M35 re-issue?
You've definitely caught the bug now

Hey Chris, thanks! no it's definitely a M40 only a nice SD M42 and the family is complete

Haha, hard to tell from the photos but the vent looks very similar to your other lid on the last photo (obviously you know best with it in hand)
M40 Would look good with a nice steel buckled chinstrap with similar wear to the liner leather
Good luck with finding a nice M42 Heer mate, next can be the SS family

Funny, that's what I thought too....? It's finish and overall look seem very M35 but I couldn't see the vent bushing very well. Nice snag regardless.

Just saw the bushing shot, nice M40!

SE M40 sometimes have strange vents...
