Re: M40 sd luft opinions please
I think it is okay. I think the decal is right and the paint looks fine. I don't think the liner is a dyed Norwegian reissue but if it is, all bets are off. Chin strap? Jim G.

Re: M40 sd luft opinions please
Looks Ok to me, the strap seems to have honest wear to it.
It looks like a small - size 62 ?

Re: M40 sd luft opinions please
Looking at the pictures again I do not think the liner is a dyed Norwegian reissue at all. There are flat head aluminum rivets holding the leather to the band, the Norwegian refits have small round head rivets. Again, I think the helmet is fine. Jim G.

Re: M40 sd luft opinions please
It is my opinion that the helmet is a reissue model 35 that has had the liner replaced with a Norwegian rework.
It is a good helmet even though the liner is replaced. I really like the reissue single decal model 35's. To me they are a true combat helmet from beginning to end.
Just an opinion.

Re: M40 sd luft opinions please
Are those pictures from a militaria dealer ? Another one that's still stuck in the 20th century.
I would ask for a good decal close-up just to be 100% sure.

Re: M40 sd luft opinions please
Factory stamps are always indented into the metal. Sometimes they appear to be in relief due to the lighting in some photo's.
