M40 Q64 Beaded Luftschutz

[MAP]

I've been debating for the last month or so as to whether to pick it up as these are really not my focus... Anyway took the plunge as I have no beaded helmets yet.

A beaded M40 Q64 Luftschutz. Looks like it is stamped lot #23 or 25. Pictures did not come out due to a very light strike. Very light wear and a new perfect decal. Chin strap is period shortened. Maybe cut for a woman? (It doesn't fit my 12 year old son)

Any way, really not much to say....enjoy....

It looks to be a nice example Michael.
I am still waiting for the right gladiator type to come up.

Very nice, Michael! From time to time I regret selling mine as these are eminently collectible IMO and look real nice and solid --- you'll need an M42 now as well, with the plastic chinstrap and ersatz liner... I love those.

Very tidy example.

I already have a 3 piece gladiator in similar condition. Good luck in your hunt!

No room....I keep saying...no more helmets...

Very tidy example.

Thanks!

I still can't resist picking them one up occasionally when I come across them. Nice example Michael, the liner variations are almost infinite.

Thanks John for your comments (as well as on GHW). Luftschutz typically aren't my bailiwick but I do love the look of a beaded helmet.

Very nice helmet Michael,
a good example!
I have one in very good condition, unfortunately has been taken the decal.

A very nice example Michael, I used to have a minty M40 beaded Luftschutz and still regret letting it go. They are fine looking lids. Leon.
