Original era manufacture. A very sound, solid example, of the classic WWII Luftwaffe M1940 steel helmet, maker and size marked SE66, lot number 9295.Most of the original rough finish, dark Luftwaffe gray/blue paint finish remains, with its original decal as shown.  Complete, and original pliable brown leather liner with original drawstring, no breaks, tears or missing sections, just some scuffing and staining on the edges from wear. All three, original to the helmet, rivets are in place, along with their slot washers. Pliable and complete, pigskin chinstrap with a steel adjusting buckle in good condition.All in all, the helmet is as an honest example that can be found today, it displays honest wear and use, and did not sit on a shelf during WWII
