German Air Force (Luftwaffe) WWII M40 Original Helmet
German Air Force (Luftwaffe) WWII M40 Original Helmet. This is an original WWII M40 German Luftwaffe helmet. The M40 was produced from 1940 until mid-1942 and as can be seen, the air vents are pressed into the sides of the shell during the manufacturing process. This helmet has a decal (intact) on the left side. In this models the smooth shiny paint was replaced by dull, textured paint. The helmet shown has Luftwaffe mid-blue textured paint. From late 1940 the zinc-coated brass rivets were replaced by zinc-coated steel rivets which provided more strength. Regarding the inner part of the M40, the rolled rim is retained, but the aluminum band is replaced by a stronger steel band. The M40 helmet is slightly heavier compared to the M35 due to the use of manganese-silicon steel. The exterior of the helmet in general shows some wear but is in overall great condition. The helmet decal is intact. Here is no pitting or corrosion. The helmet seems to be in its original condition with no repainting or alteration. The interior liner is in great condition, but definitely original to the helmet. The chin strap is missing and the helmet size is 59. Please see all pictures for further details.
