Untouched Direct Vet Estate SD Heer M40/SE66 Helmet With 1/2 Basket "Chicken Wire"-Named

Lot # 10 (Sale Order: 11 of 288)      

Stellar and 100% original direct from vet estate example! M40 single decal with later field gray repaint. The decal exhibits wear from the wire and/or the soldier trying ...moreto slightly subdue it. Correct application and correct period twist 1/2 wire zinc galvanized wire which exhibits all the correct signs of age old reactions to where the strands touch. The front of the helmet visor exhibits finger wear from the soldier removing and replacing the helmet on his head! The rear flange has the soldier's white hand painted name in old German "Gothic" lettering and exhibits yellowing and age crazing. We have shown this helmet to several experts who have handled original helmets that have the original PERIOD applied wire and this example meets all the points. The WW2 vet had originally stored this helmet in his garage before moving it into his office for display after the war. We guarantee this helmet to be 100% original and that the wire basket has been in place since the original German Army soldier with the name of "GUNDLING" configured the wire basket. These wire helmets were most often configured later in the war as the Luftwaffe started thinning out and wasn't able to provide as much air support for the ground troops. This example also doesn't exhibit signs of the wire having been used for foliage. Again, this is a direct vet estate acquired example and is guaranteed to be completely original and of the period.
