WW2 German M40 Luftwaffe Ex Netted Three Colour Camouflage Helmet
A fabulous M40 camouflage helmet with a spray painted three colour scheme that was originally applied over a net with imprint left on the exterior & remnants of the net still tied to the band inside.
A camouflage scheme that could be applicable to quite a few different theatres the tan base was applied over factory blue luftwaffe paint also to the underside of the rim. This has then been oversprayed with brown & green the previous existence of a wide gauge net having left an imprint of where it was sprayed over in situ. All three of its liner pins are totally original to the helmet & undisturbed to the inside. Interestingly the tan paint has been painted to the underside of the rim where again can be seen the clear imprint of a net once having been in place. Still tied to the liner band is some of the net left from where it was cut off. Leather liner is in good order with original drawstring & only a small remnant of the chinstrap on one side. Maker is an SE64 with lot number 175.
Fabulous helmet !
