M35 Model 
                    Waffen SS M31 Liner: This is a superb reproduction 
                    of a M35 early war SS 'Totenkopf' Division helmet. It has 
                    the original field grey paint scheme overpainted with a dark 
                    'vehicle' green, which was the same colour used on the French 
                    Tanks. A very sought after piece of German militaria! 
                  It has the early pattern museum quality 'SS' 
                    runes on the right hand side and the national swastica on 
                    the left hand side, both showing appropriate wear and ageing. 
                    This combination of decals was discontinued later in the war. 
                    You can notice from the paintwork that it was well used prior 
                    to the application of the green paint, which itself has received 
                    much wear, further adding to the authenticity! 
                  The M31 pattern liner is stamped '61' (metric size) and the 
                    inner shell 'ET68' and '1962'which are the manaufacturer, 
                    size (metric) and batch numbers. There has been a rivet repair 
                    to the left hand side of the chinstrap and the buckle comes 
                    from a genuine M35 Helmet! 
                  Finally the helmet has been cleaned up and lightly polished 
                    to reflect an enthusiastic collectors ownership! This helmet 
                    is fully wearable for the re-enactor and would look fantastic 
                    as a display item. The only helmet better than this is a genuine 
                    'Totenkopf' Division one in this condition and that would 
                    worth several thousand! A great German Waffen SS Militaria 
                    item!
