A revision of the original World War I stahlhelm, the 1940 Model reduced the skirt size for easier wear, improved the webbing, and replaced the "lug" vents with a simple grommeted hole. This example was upgraded with field-applied camouflage, with a mix of green, tan and brown paint applied to the exterior, and a harness of steel wire secured to the crown. The interior retains the original green finish, with "T1202" stamped in the rear of the skirt, leather webbing, and a faint marking on the chinstrap.

Fair. The exterior is in good condition, with rust on the wire and mild handling marks overall. the interior shows heavy pitting, with mild wear on the leather.
