M40 SD NSKK - EF62 - Lot# ?151?
I acquired this one at least 10 years ago - a decent M40 single decal NSKK helmet. It is an EF62 complete with a nice liner and a shortened chin strap. The lot number appears to be 115(?) but it is really hard to be sure. The decal, on the other hand, is a no doubt original NSKK transfer. Certainly not a mint piece by any stretch but is a decent example of a fairly rare helmet. Hope you like it. Jim G.

Hi Jim...I dont collect helmets but I find it amazing to see such rarities in this hobby and I thought I have seen alot of helmet branches ...this one I never seen before. Impressive
Best Regards Larry
It is not the size of a Collection in History that matters......Its the size of your Passion for it!!

Neat! I can say with certainty I've definitely never seen one of these in person - and probably never will. Great rare lid!
Great and rare helmet Jim. I like the condition. It has character.

Another rare one in your collection Jim. I don't think I've ever seen one in person!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Very nice NsKk Jim.
Thank you for posting this NSKK helm Jim. From the decal picture in #1 there appears to be a rectangular area surrounding the NSKK Adler and script? Is this surviving paint or it this part of the decal? Or is it just my eyes deceiving me?

Good eye! There was a Luft Adlern the piece originally. You can see remnants of the right wing in the top right area if the decal picture. Jim G.
Nskk and Rad were all Heer or LW helmets first so they will always have that decal under the overpaint.
