Q66 M40 Luftwaffe three-tone camouflage helmet with sweetheart picture

Stunning original M40 Luftwaffe helmet in three-tone Normandy camouflage with a sweetheart picture found in the liner. The helmet retains up to 80% of its original camouflage paint and its original liner and chinstrap. The helmet is marked Q66 indicating production by Quist. The liner is nice size 58 and original to the helmet. I looked inside the helmet and felt a piece of paper behind the leather of the liner. The picture of a Nachrichtenhelferin named Irene was tucked inside; most probably his sweetheart as a good luck charm. The helmet is named to Obergefreiter Brandt in the skirt of the helmet and the liner. The chinstrap is a nice early brown LBA marked example with aluminum buckle. The helmet is a very nice example of a three-tone camouflage helmet with a very nice extra that I found inside!
