German M35
Waffen SS (Schutzstaffeln) Russia & Normandy Helmet
: This is a genuine German WW2 helmet repainted
in apple green, then repainted in white whitewash and then
repainted again in dark green with sand. It has superb reproduction
decals. It has the early pattern 'SS' runes on the right hand
side and the national swastika on the left hand side, both
showing appropriate wear and ageing. This combination of decals
was discontinued later in the war. This helmet (original),
recreates those used by the Waffen SS in Russia in 1941 onwards
and in particular the Stalingrad Campaign with later use in
Normandy. The owner has painted round the decals at each repaint.
The helmet has two markings: '1356' at the rear
edge, faint - which is the batch or production number and
'XX6X' at the left side, very faint (where X indicates unknown),
which is the manufacturer number and helmet size (64). The
liner and chinstrap are post war and both suitable aged. The
chinstrap has had two field repairs and also has a RB Number
indicating it as a later war replacement strap. There is light
rust spots coming through the paintwork in various places.
Part of the liner is stained with very dark
red colouring which is turning black with age. The whitewash
is cracking in places indicating a old helmet and one used
in varying weather conditions (hot and cold). Finally, there
is also an acceptance dome stamp in the helmet crown.
I repeat the helmet is 100% genuine and the
decals and paint work are post war! A great item for the Waffen
SS, Stalingrad, Normandy or German Helmet collector! An original
in this condition would be worth thousands of pounds!
