Hi all, it’s a holiday here tommorro so I thought I’d post another nicely combat worn but intact M40 SD Heer if which I have a few. Only just missed the best afternoon sun so had to make do with these pics. This one saw some combat and use but remains intact with all original components except a replaced drawstring. It’s a EF64 lot number 5193. The decal shows use and scuffing but 97% intact. There are quite a few scrapnel dents to the shell including one that also dented the liner band inside (only possible when you push the band towards the inside of the shell) so it was clearly on his head when it occurred. He must have had a headache! The band is dated 1941 and the rivets never touched. The liner is how I like them showing scuffing and heavy use and but no damage except for what looks like a rat nibble on one part. The drawstring has been replaced at some stage. The original chinstrap is still present being shortened on one end omitting the makers mark. I love them
like this and can’t resist them. I hope you guys enjoy it like I do. Cheers. Johnno.
