Post War German M40 |
|
|
|
These four helmets are post war M40 police or border guard helmets. 3 Are made by 'LS' they faithfully reproduce the late style 'M40' helmet. The liner is slightly different but is atteched using 'split pins'. One of these 4 is a genuine WWII vintage Stahlhelm that was refurbished by the Bayern police - can you tell which one? |
