German M35
Africa Korp Helmet & Sand Drivers Goggles: This
is a genuine German WW2 helmet painted originally in satin
black repainted post war in army green and finally repainted
in Rommel's Africa Korp sand colour. Post war double decals
and name have also been applied. Genuine Africa Korp driving
goggles are also included. The goggles have a post war replacement
rear band otherwise are 100% original. This combination of
helmet & drivers goggles would have been worn by vehicle
drivers including motorcycle & tank crews.
It has the German National Colours decal on
the right hand side and the Heer (Army) eagle decal on the
left hand side, both showing appropriate wear, overpainting
and ageing. This combination of decals was discontinued later
in the war.
The helmet has two original markings: 'N.4'
at the rear edge - which is the batch or production number
and NS64 which is the manufacturer number and helmet size
(64). This is a reasonably rare size of helmet and batch number
combination).
There is a name painted inside the rear rim
'H. Fischer'. Further information can be found on this
type of helmet here. www.german-helmets.com.
There is no liner or chinstrap and the decals have a protective
lacquer, as the original decals would have had.
I repeat the helmet is 100% genuine, the goggles
are 100% genuine (with replacement rear strap & worth
over £35 individually) and the decals & paintwork
are post war! A great item for the Africa Korp or German Helmet
collector!
