BIG BOY M40 Q68 LATE WAR COMPLETE WITH CHINSTRAP

DESCRIPTION
This is what I like to call one of the big boys. A hefty and uncommon M40 Quist size 68 helmet in complete condition. The chinstrap is fully in tact and is ink stamped at the end "41" or "44". The liner is sheepskin and the factory would have left the factory floor sometime in the middle of 1944 according to the rear lot number. A beautiful late war example.

$750 SOLD

GERMAN HELMET FACTORY PRODUCTION CODES
(Every original German helmet produced from 1935 to 45 had two factory stampings punched into the side and rear or both in the rear.  The alpha numeric number refers to the factory location and the inside metric circumference in centimeters.  The rear lot number refers to the production run and was used as a quality control measure. The font styles used at each factory were slightly different but highly consistent throughout the war and so fakes or reproductions will either not have these numbers at all or they will use the wrong font style or letter spacing and so are easily identified as post war made
