Does a Norwegian M40 helmet with the Lion decal with original head liner have any collectors value and if so what are they worth?
Thanks

Can't speak to the value but ones with the decal are becoming hard to find.

THESE helmets must be looked at carefully as when these hit the surplus stores in N AMERICA many where discovered to be over paints of nice decals of all types

I see them selling in the region of 100-200 USD here in Norway, depending on condition etc.

Best regards,

As promised here are pictures of the Norwegian M40 helmet. Appears to be a original German helmet that received a makeover.

Decal closeup looks like the original decals were sanded off and painted over before the new decals were applied.
