No Decal Luft M40 Q66 - Lot # 4409

[helmet2id]

Here is the last of the Q66 no decal M40's from the box I pulled a few weeks ago. It has rough textured blue/grey factory applied Luft paint on the exterior and smooth dark blue on the interior with those tell tale paint runs characteristic of the Quist factory on the rear of the interior of the apron. The Lot # is 4409. There is no chin strap. The size 58 zinc liner has a cream colored leather insert that is pliable, albeit a bit dry. The original tie string remains, but has pulled through the eyelets on a few of the tongues and the tips of several of the tongues have torn off. The exterior paint is in very good condition, exhibiting more storage damage than field use. Probably did not see much, if any, action but I think it is a pretty representative example. Hope you like it. Jim G.

Nice ND M40. Don't find them often without someone having applied some silly decal on them before.
Too bad about the leather but otherwise amazing condition!

Very nice - simple no decal helmet with great paint.
Nice photos too.
