WW2 German Transitional Single Decal Army Helmet

A very nice example of the so called ' Transitional ' helmet being a helmet of M18 WW1 origin that has been refinished according to 1940 specifications with the application of textured field grey paint tp its exterior & a single army decal having been applied to the left side. Helmet shell has the markings 'Si66' with a stamped '64' very close to it which may be a later size reference when reissued in 1940. The decal is a 'Q' type decal with smooth curved inner right wing , it has been applied at a less than perfect angle this not being uncommon with reissues of this period. Chinstrap is an original example & dated 1943. Leather liner is marked '56' with a tear to one of the fingers & another with tip present but detached.
Nice clean example .
