M40 SD Luft - Q66 - Lot#T1353

[helmet2id]

I have had this one forever, but haven’t seen it in years. Pulled a box with M40 helmets today and this one was the first one I pulled out of it. The pictures tell the story, but the mystery is the picture I found in the liner that I don’t think the seller even knew was there. I don’t know if I have posted it before but even if I have it deserves a re shoot. If anyone can identify it I would be forever grateful. Anyway, here it is, hope you like it. Jim G.

Hi there,

Now, I am not sure, but maybe the photo was taken at Somme Kaserne (renamed Reese Barracks) in Augsburg.

Is there any writing on the back of the photo.

Kind regards,

Will.

Superb helmet , photo is a bonus especially if it turns out to be a LW barrack or training center.

Outstanding stahlhelm, I think Somme Kaserne might be a good shout, certainly looks very similar.

Looks like Typical Wehrmacht Barracks, there are lots of them - all looking very similar. Is there definitly no writing on the backside?
