Re: M40 Relic with strange wire
Hello, i think that the wire must have been added fairly recently.I am not saying that there was no such thing as "electrical wire" during the war,but it would surely not have been used on a helmet for attaching cammo?VERY VERY STRANGE!

Re: M40 Relic with strange wire
The wire was wrapped around the liner band and it was embedded into the rust and i had to pry the wire out of the helmet

Re: M40 Relic with strange wire
As i'm sure you already know better close up pictures are required as the wire looks like it was added about an hour ago !!

Re: M40 Relic with strange wire
If it is the one I am thinking of, it does look legit with better pics. I really must say though, that the restoration was IMO a bad idea since the wire was attached.
The helmet had merit as an original unique relic, now it's completely ruined IMO
Here is a thread on the same lid, I think.

I've no problem with restoration jobs like this, but do it on crappy rusted out hulks with nothing going for them. Not a lid with original wire still in place, or half decent decals / paint.....
