I mentioned this helmet in another thread yesterday. I bought this one from my secretary about 25 years ago, along with an M17 Austrian reissue. They were captured by her late Father in Law. This is how she brought it to the office. Neither she nor her husband knew where the helmet had been taken nor if the strap was with it in the field
or “married” to the shell post War but since they were together when I got them I have left them together. The helmet is a well worn M40 SD Luft, an hkp64, lot number 4278. The wear, especially on the decal, seems to be consistent with the presence of a strap while the helmet was is use, but who knows? Anyway, here it is. Hope you like it. Jim G.
