ATTIC Find...........
Hellooo,
Once again a friend of mine who is in the demolition business called me this past Wednesday saying he found another German helmet in the attic of a house he is tearing down. I went out to look at it and it IS an really nice M40 Luftwaffe combat helmet. At the time I looked at it, it did not have a chin strap, but when I got back with the money to buy it from him it did. He said he found it after scrounging around a bit so he put it on, I don't know if it is original to the helmet or not but I went ahead and kept it on. He also wiped it down with a dry rag,(he did not like the cobwebs)... sigh but other than that a very nice untouched helmet... Hope you like..
Van
