Re: M40 helmet legit
All looks in order from here. $650 is a pretty good price too, not a bargain but not ridiculous. Only bad thing I'd say is it looks to have been cleaned, but that's a pretty minor point.

Re: M40 helmet legit
It looks ok to me... $650 is fine, maybe a little high, so you could try to haggle a little.
You should find out the marker and size of the helmet. These markings can be found here:

Re: M40 helmet legit
I'm comfortable with this one. I think it's all original. Price isn't bad, but if he's trying to get rid of it, see if you can haggle him a little and get it for maybe $500-550, that would be a really good buy! Good luck.

Re: M40 helmet legit
Will do. Is $550 a reasonable offer?

Re: M40 helmet legit
The only thing that would concern me would be if the liner and chinstrap
leather is too brittle or not. Other than this it looks ok, and is a
pretty good buy at $500-$600..........

Re: M40 helmet legit
Is the liner band upside down??

Re: M40 helmet legit
Two areas that collectors refrain from buying are damage to the eagles head and to the swastika. This has a lot of damage to the head but the price seems reasonable. The linerband does appear to be upside down, see if the split pins are straight. Could be a factory glitch could be someone messed with it. All in all a reasonable price, if you can get it cheaper your doing very well I think.
ALso an intriguingly interesting lot number with the letter I stamped below. Why these are on ET helmets nobody knows, I feel it is a steel plate change but who really knows.
