Help with an M40


Recommended Posts

Posted

The attached pics show the two stamped letter/number sets on the inside rim of an Luftwaffe M40 helmet. 

the 1080 is on the rear.

the nkp64 or hko64 or other, not clear to me

any ideas of significance of these would be appreciated.

The helmet has been a double decal example only a shadow of the shield and less than 5% of the eagle are left. pic added.
