WW2 German Luftwaffe Single Decal Helmet

WW2 German M42 Luftwaffe single decal helmet with original chinstrap a very high proportion of the decal remaining.
These were worn in combat by Luftwaffe ground troops such as Flak crews, Paratroopers , Field Division & other Luftwaffe infantry on all fronts. In a classic rough textured blue finish it has signs of heavy combat wear with chips & scuffs to the exterior paint. All three liner pins are undisturbed & original to the helmet . Underside of flared rim has a very poorly stamped manufacturer & size , this is typical of some M42 helmets with only the size of '66' discernible. Sheepskin leather liner is in very good order with original tightening drawstring intact. I have not attempted to lift the leather to inspect for markings. Finally m the black leather chinstrap is 100% original to the helmet with a grey painted steel buckle.
With German combat helmets becoming increasingly more difficult to source this is an excellent textbook example of the Luftwaffe M42 raw edge helmet.
