Nice salty lid
I'm not sure it is ex winter camo, looks like old garage splashes to me, still nice.
Re: Toned heer m40
Former snow or not still a good helmet. Nice find!
Re: Toned heer m40
Nice helmet for your collection.
Re: Toned heer m40
Can anyone tell me why the second #1 on the lot number looks like it was added post production, totally different type #1 and out of line.

Re: Toned heer m40
Anyone?
Re: Toned heer m40
Good question, I agree it looks like an afterthought. Factory paint over the top though, maybe the machine was playing up that day and they had to manually finish the numbers?
Re: Toned heer m40
It looks like a replacement number wheel in the stamp. The two to the left are worn, and would soon need replacing too. Just my theory.
