Original German WWII Army Heer M40 Single Decal Steel Helmet with 56cm Liner - Stamped Q66 Russian/Soviet Militaria but this example is missingOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice all original example of a German WWII M40 helmet, issued to the Heer (Army). This stamped sheet steel construction helmet retains about 80% of its original lightly textured panzergrau (armored gray) paint, and looks to possibly have had a repaint during the WWII period, which has made the markings on the inside a bit faint. The textured exterior does show some chipping, scratches, and rust,
