Original German WWII Beaded M40 Double Decal DRK Red Cross Steel Helmet - marked Q64 Japanese Uniforms The crank with wooden handleOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice and somewhat rare genuine steel construction M40 "Beaded" Third Reich helmet, outfitted for German WWII DRK Red Cross issue. These helmets were essentially like the Military issue, however the steel was not as high quality. They were given a "bead" around the edge, to avoid mixing them up with the military version. The exterior of this German helmet retains most of the dark charcoal gray paint,
