FINE WWII GERMAN LUFTWAFFE M1940 SINGLE DECAL
HELMET. This helmet has a dark gray original finish with an original 2nd type Luftwaffe decal on the left side. This virtually unissued helmet was probably manufactured around 1942 and has not been altered in any way. The interior left of the helmet is stamped "Q64", and the inside rear is stamped "DN231". The 8-finger tan liner is stamped size "57" and also appears virtually unissued. The chinstrap is complete and appears original to the helmet. CONDITION: the finish of the helmet is nearly 100% showing primarily storage wear. Luftwaffe decal is 99%. The liner shows the lightest possible use or is unissued. The chinstrap is very lightly worn. A wonderful example of a mid-war period helmet in superior condition. PROVENANCE: From the Lifelong Collection of Glen E. Mattox. (02-18232/BF). $700-1,000.
