WWII GERMAN WAFFEN-SS M-40 STEEL COMBAT HELMET, superb ‘out of the woodwork’ single decal Waffen-SS steel combat helmet which retains much of the original dark combat paint finish to the exterior and interior of the shell. Helmet is a M-40 pattern shell. The helmet retains over 90% of the original Waffen-SS runes decal still present. The helmet shell also has a indentation from either a bullet or shrapnel to the rear side of the shell, but this has only dented and not pierced the shell. Helmet retains its original leather liner system, however this shows some dryness and some small sections are now missing or detached from the main body of the liner. Original owners name inked to the liner. Shell is stamped lightly ‘Q66’ and ‘1759’. Remains of the leather chinstrap.
