M40 Waffen-SS single decal steel helmet Q64

Description

M40 pattern Waffen-SS combat helmet. Single decal example having Quist-style SS runes, that matches the maker and lot number of this helmet. The helmet is nicely worn and shows nice ageing and patina. The decal is still partially present and shows nice wear. Decals from this manufacturer often show this ‘flaking’ damage. Complete with original 1940 dated liner and reissued 1939 split pins. The leather remains soft and strong and shows a size mark (I think 58). Genuine draw string is present. Maker marked by Q size 66.  Lot number IN243 (which would be a wrongly stamped DN243 ref. Brian Ice page 567 see print screen) – shows a similar match in Brian Ice’s data base. Here is your chance to buy a nice combat worn SS helmet – not many offered for sale these days!
