I purchased this M40 Helmet this week from Ken N.
The paint is very typical EF mid-war dark feldblau with medium heavy texture. The eagle decal is an unmistakable EF variant with the down-turned eye-brow. The decal itself is canted slightly with the left wing dipping a bit lower than the right. This form of mis-application is quite common among EF helmets as is the gold/yellow toning of the decals used by EF during this period. Paint and decal both rate in the high 905 range. The leather of the liner is sound. This example has an illegible name written inside the liner. The chinstrap is missing.
Can anyone determine the Name on the liner leaf ?
