Yes that's what a said, a what I believe to be original Heer M40 Double Decal, one of the few made in the early months of 1940. The liner band is dated 1940. Naturally any time I've brought up this helmet anywhere it brings a lot of debate and criticism with it, which is understandable. So opinions are welcome, I've been burned before so I won't cry if I find out it's fake or something, but I do believe this is an original helmet. I've had this helmet for a long time and talked with many people who collect only helmets and I always seem to get the same answer after much delibiration, that it's real. A lot of people have pointed out that the National Decal has a pink tent to it, but many other original National Decals have this same tent to it. I'm bringing it up here to hear new opinions on it and to see if it still holds up. So please look and criticize at your will, I'm only after the truth as I am not helmet expert and could be completly wrong in saying or thinking this is a real M40 DD Heer.
