M40 army (Heer) reissued single decal steel helmet ET64

M40 German steel helmet, reissued example ca. 1942. This helmet, was factory reissued during the war, started as an early produced single decal Army/SS or Kriegsmarine helmet, receiving a new thick rough field green layer of paint and a new decal. The decal is a textbook example that I like to see on reissued helmets, being produced by Methner and Burger (Grey lined eagle). It shows wear and is flaking off. The helmet is complete with its original liner and you can clearly see the split pins are untouched and straight. The leather itself is supple and remains in very good condition, having a size mark 56. The helmet is complete with its full length draw string. Shell markings ET64 and 1088. The interior dome was never repainted and still holds the genuine drome acceptance stamp, firmly in place. Nice to see reissue paint on the inner rim and rim of the liner band, showing that the liner always belonged to this helmet and was not swopped; A beautiful mid war army steel helmet!
