WW2 GERMAN AFRIKA KORPS/ITALIAN THEATRE M40 HELMET
Whilst Tan coloured WW2 German helmets are always regarded as Afrika Korps helmets it must be remebered that the Germans also fought in Italy especially in the hotter South and also used the Tan coloured helmet but in smaller numbers.
This example is an M40 with the maker stamped SE64 to the inner skirt and batch number 4867 to the rear of the skirt. Liner is dry and chinstrap is present. Has wire attached to the shell for foliage to added.
