M40 Luftschutz Helmet - Beaded

A beaded M40 helmet for the Luftschutz air defence organisation. Dark blue paint inside and out. A second pattern Luftschutz decal to the front, which has had the central swastika scratched out - presumably a deliberate act of denazification. Remainder of the decal is 90 per cent present. Six-tongue hide liner in place, with an additional cloth drawstring liner added, probably to make it more comfortable. Remains of Luftschutz acceptance label on inner skirt. Maker marked by Quist and size stamped 66.
