An M40 luftwaffe helmet with spray painted tan camouflage overpaint typical of those worn in the Italian theatre of operations by German combat troops. This Quist made size 64 helmet first received the blue grey textured factory paint according to 1940 specifications with the tan camouflage overspray applied upon his Mediterranean deployment. This has been evenly applied with a couple of thick runs of the paint from the spray gun visible upon close examination. The second pattern luftwaffe eagle is of the dotted wing type typical of a Quist made example. This was initially oversprayed then later very carefully exposed revealing a very high remaining percentage of it in its entirety. All three of the liner pins are with matching tan camouflage paint & undisturbed on both the exterior & interior of the shell. Helmet shell bears the maker & size markings 'Q64' with lot number ' 1957 ' . The Brian Ice reference gives an exact matching zinc banded ( As here ) SD example . Liner band is 1940 dated. Leather liner is intact with a crossed out name handwritten to the rear . All fingers are undamaged with original drawstring intact. Chinstrap is a 100% original example which came on the helmet with aluminium buckle . Overall a fabulous camouflage piece typical of the Italian campaign.
