Default M40 camo KM helmet

Hi Guys,

I want to share one of my favourites out of my collection. It's a m40 SD EF66 Kriegsmarine helmet which is double named and camouflaged. The helmet is named in the liner: "Mash. Gefr. Karl Flettner" which stand for: Maschinisten Gefreiter The helmet is also in the liner named with: "Kurt Hildebrand, Stm /M 1845740K
The helmet is painted all over is grassgreen. The outline of the decal is visible.
Liner has never been removed and without any doubt original to the helmet.

Regards,

Erwin

It is a nice one, very subdued. It reminds me of one sold at a local auction last year that I missed.
