WWII GERMAN M1940 CAMOUFLAGE LUFTWAFFE HELMET.

This fine original helmet has sand-tan paint sprayed over the original blue-gray finish. It is questionable when the tan paint was added, and we feel the tan paint may be from the post-WWII era. The left side has a Luftwaffe eagle easily seen under the tan paint. The inside rear of the helmet is stamped “1145” and the inside left is stamped “C66”. Brown leather chinstrap has overspray from the helmet on its face. Nice original dark brown 8-tongue leather liner. CONDITION: helmet’s camouflage finish is approx. 95%. The Luftwaffe decal is easily discernable under the paint. Chinstrap and liner show light to moderate wear. PROVENANCE: From the Lifelong Collection of Glen E. Mattox. (02-18301/BF). $500-800.
