Lot 578:
WWII German Type Steel Helmet Finnish M40/55 – with liner and strap- WWII German helmet stocks from the government of Finland These helmets are 100% genuine German manufactured WWII type M40 steel combat helmets 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. The leather liners and chinstraps were made in Finland for the Finnish army who called it the M55 helmet; styles vary, as some of the helmets were used up until the early 1970s. some liners may be reproduced as well as straps, PLEASE NOTE; REFER to pictures to make your own determination, we described the War Helmets as best we could but we are not Helmet experts. Also, helmets may come with dents or scratches or paint removed or missing rivets or chords, the pictures will show these details.. shows size 58 on liner
