Amazing helmet has original ww2 paint
genuine German manufactured WWII type M40 steel combat helmets
that were produced by German WWIl helmet manufacturer Hans
Römer Fabrik from Neu-Ulm (Donau-Freiberg).
Supplied throughout WWII and then under special contract for the
Finnish Army in 1955, hence, they have become known as the M40/55
helmet. However, these helmets were made in the same factory, on the
same machines and by some of the very same people that produced
them for Germany in WWII. They are nearly identical to WWII issue M40
helmets (and are often sold as such) with the classic rolled edge,
correct steel thickness, and pressed ventilation holes. Furthermore, we
have very good reason to believe that some of these shells are sanitized
German WWII M35 and M40 helmets; meaning some are genuine WWII
shells that had all stampings rubbed out and original paint removed to
avoid the allied ban on West Germany selling war materiel after WW2.
