WWII GERMAN KRIEGSMARINE (NAVY) COASTAL ARTILLERY STEEL COMBAT HELMET, good example of a M-40 pattern steel combat helmet which has a dark rough textured over paint finish which is typical of helmets worn by the gunners of the Kriegsmarine coastal artillery batteries in France. Helmet retains the original golden eagle decal which is about 80 – 85% present. Interior of the helmet retains the original brown leather liner which shows heavy service wear with one tongue damaged / absent. Shell appears to have a ‘EF-‘ size stamp but this is not clear, as is the batch number stamp. Overall a good combat worn Kriegsmarine helmet.
