Heavy stamped sheet steel construction, M40 style helmet with the addition of an embossed horizontal "bead" positioned at the apex of the front and rear visors and crown. The helmet retains nearly all of its original dark blue satin finish. The front center of the helmet has a Luftschutz emblem decal in place. The black detailed, silver decal features stylized spread wings with a central oak-leaf sprig and a canted swastika positioned below a scripted banner, "Luftschutz". The decal has some damage as shown. All three liner retaining rivets and both inset ventilation bushings are all intact. The interior of the helmet has a ersatz, six finger liner that is ink stamped "57". Two of the liner tips are torn. Shell is stamped with the manufacturers code and size is not well legible but I suspect it is, "Q66" indicating manufacture by F.W. Quist, G.m.b.H. Esslingen, size 66.
