RARE M18 army (Heer) single ‘front’ decal helmet for army instructor B.F.64

Description

Very rare WW1 M18 army reissue configuration having an army decal on the front. I was told this was intended for army school instructors, hence the use of older M18 helmets. The decal sits firmly in place and shows nice patina. It is a Ed Strache decal, typical for reissued helmets. Just for the record, there are no traces of other decals ever being on the side of the helmet. The helmet is covered in WW2-era dark green paint, that shows nice patina. Complete with liner that shows nice ageing and patina. The leather is still supple and strong. Maker marked shell by B.F. size 64. A very rare helmet, missing in many collections!
