Q64 M40 single decal Luftwaffe helmet in two-tone camouflage

Spectacular two-tone camouflage helmet marked Q64 indicating production by Quist. The helmet started it life as a single decal Luftwaffe helmet and was later camouflaged in the field. The camouflage is a typical, brush applied pattern with debris mixed through the paint. The camouflage finish retains up to 90%. The helmet retains its factory installed liner and LBA marked chinstrap. The helmet is named to Kanonier Ketelsen with the feldpostnummer 47050 indicating Gemischte Flak-Abteilung 347 which was a part of the 12. Flak Brigade. Originally formed on Guernsey, it was also known as Flak-Brigade Kanalinseln. The Brigade was then moved to Bordeaux and Saintes. Impressive camouflage helmet that would be a great addition to any helmet collection!
