This M40 was recovered on the battlefield of Leningrad (Kolpino). All original and no holes or cracks. Held up remarkably well overtime given the winters there.

Have a photo of the helmet when dug ? Looks like an M35 to me.
Is the rear end of the leather restitched ? The thread looks very white and clean.
No. But I know who dug it up. I will be posting more soon.
The man who found the helmet stitched the liner so it would dry faster. The stitching can be easily removed.
