WW2 German M40 Luftwaffe Field Division Camouflage Helmet
A WW2 German Luftwaffe camouflage helmet having received a dark green overpaint to the Luftwaffe blue with tan ochre & light green brush strokes applied 'ad hoc' to the exterior.
A helmet that has seen heavy wear its original blue factory paint can still be seen to interior dome. This type of camouflage scheme is indicative of a ground combat Luftwaffe soldier fighting in a Field Division /Paratrooper unit or ground combat gun crew. All three liner pins are undisturbed & have not been out of the helmet. Made by Quist , the marking 'Q64' is visible to underside of shell although lot number illegible. Leather liner is very heavily worn & shows age , please see images. Remains of chinstrap to each side.
Interesting helmet with a less commonly encountered camouflage scheme.
