Q66 M40 no decal helmet

Nice example of a late war Q66 no decal M40 helmet. The Quist firm produced the M40 helmet shell right up till late in 1944 whilst the other companies all adopted the M42 model. This helmet was made for all the branches just like the M42 helmet without decal. The helmet is a US veteran bring back and retains a period applied postage label to the right side of the label.
