WW2 German M40 Army Single Decal Camouflage Helmet With Battle Damage

A stunning M40 army single decal helmet that at one time had a rubber band around it over which was applied a tan ochre & green camouflage scheme.
Showing much heavy wear & a dent to the front left most likely caused during battle this helmet received a tan overpaint on which short green swirls were applied over the top with a brush & the decal slightly subdued with the same green. It is evident that a rubber foliage band was in situ when camouflaged this later removed leaving the shadow around the circumference of the helmet & to the lower part of the decal it was covering. There are many chips & scuffs to the helmet with darkened age patination to the tan paint. Natural rust age bleeding is evident throughout. All three of the liner pins bear matching camouflage paint & are undisturbed. Helmet shell is marked 'Q62' for the firm Quist . Soldiers name of 'W.Wulff ' to rear rim. Liner band is zinc with a heavily worn leather liner that displays some tears to one area of the leather. Only a small part of the chinstrap remains.
Overall a fabulous camouflage helmet with decal .
