DESCRIPTION
This helmet is a wonderful example of what your everyday fighting man would have worn defending the beaches of Normandy or during the invasion of France. A mid-war M40 ET64 helmet with a single Heer decal along with it's original liner and drawstring. The liner is your transitional version with rounded aluminum square chinstrap bales making the production date the liner right around early to late 1940. The rear lot number is 1339 placing the year of factory production to right around early 1040 according to Brian Ice's lot data book. Helmet was purchased from a non-collector out of Wichita Falls, TX along with the M40 ET66 SS helmet.
A great helmet for a newer collector looking for 100% original paint, an untouched liner system and authentic Heer eagle decal. A one looker and nothing to worry about with this finely preserved example.

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.)
