M1940 Waffen SS "Veteran Bring Back" Single Decal German Helmet

This is a super untouched Original M1940 Waffen SS Single Decal German Helmet.  This helmet is a nice combat worn piece.   This M1940 Waffen SS German helmet retains close to 90% of its original Field Green finish.  The Zinc Galvanized liner is the correct M1931.  The liner is single banded, a Size 57, and is in nice condition.  The liner appears to be dated 1941.  The liner is very tight and I am hesitant to pull on it to see the markings.  Overall, the liner is in very good condition with no breaks or tears and the original drawstring.  It does exhibit wear but after all, this is a combat worn helmet.   The SS Trooper signed the liner, but the signature is barely legible.  The rivet pins are all very snug and exhibit no bends or signs of tampering.  The pins also match the helmet perfectly and are clearly the original pins.   The chin strap is clearly from the period as well, and is in very nice condition.  The chinstrap has a Manufacturer stamp, but it is not legible.

This M1940 Waffen SS helmet has not been tampered with and is guaranteed to be 100% authentic.   The 1st Pattern Waffen SS Q Decal is 95% intact and has beautiful lacquer toning.  The texture is consistent with the rest of the helmet and is clearly an original decal.   This beauty is a nice size 64.   The manufacturers stamp Q64 is lightly stamped.  Q indicates that this helmet was manufactured at the Quist firm plant in Esslingen, Germany.  The production number is R580 is nicely stamped.   This Waffen SS helmet is direct from the son of the WW2 US Army Veteran that brought this helmet back from Europe.   The Vet was a decorated combat Vet.    Details of the Vet's service history and possibly a photograph will be provided to the buyer.   This is a Super example of a Q M1940.  This helmet, as with all my helmets, comes with a Written Certificate of Authenticity and Lifetime Guarantee.
