Relic M40 helmet (your opinion please)

[Martin Takeuchi]

Hello everyone!
As it's my first post here let me introduce myself briefly.
I'm Martin, living in Tokyo, Jpn.

I've always been fascinated by ww2 history and finally decided to start my own collection .

I'm mostly into WH military awards but would like to get a helmet in relic condition （I know some collectors prefer everything mint tho)to give my future collection an authentic "been there" look .

I found out an interesting M40 helmet posted by this forum member and I'd like to make sure its'a good one. The belt buckle is also part of the set sold by this person. BTW, sorry for my bad English ! Also another question is if eagle decal is genuine or not.

Thanks a lot for your help and time!

Best regards,
マーティン

Nice to see a ground find where you can actually vet the decal.

Thanks a lot for such a fast reply and for sharing your knowledge !
Guess I'm gonna go for this piece then
I plan to mix it with much awards in much better condition, but I think it's important to have some pieces that one's can feel what a true war horror is from.
