WW2 German String Netted Flak Regiment Marked Luftwaffe Camouflage Helmet

A rare opportunity to own a 100% untouched German netted camouflage helmet offered just as it was found.
This quite amazing helmet is a time capsule from the NW Europe theatre of operations & typical of those worn by German combat troops in the latter stages of WW2. It is an M40 with age darkened factory blue paint still visible underneath the thick hemp netting. Decal has been removed as per regulations of the period. Having been outhouse loft stored for many years the metal surface has some very old minor rust development from damp conditions with a very dirty & rust stained covering to the netting overall. In a typical thick hemp with much correlating wear evident throughout the netting is tied under the helmet with one very old oxidised fastening hook passing from the outside of the helmet down under the liner band. It is clear that this has been undisturbed for many years. Interior of the helmet has a heavily worn leather liner with ink stamped regimental marking of a flak unit & the name
'Muller' on a clothing tag . The ink mark ' 2 Batt.' ( 2nd Batterie ) within a rectangle is also visible. As personnel moved around alot during the war or were infilling as replacements in other units as the war went on it is impossible to deduce which unit the wearer of this helmet ended up serving in .The maker initials of 'hkp62' are visible to the shells underside .
A stunning helmet & a rare opportunity to own such a fabulous piece of battlefield history.
