the color of the helmet seems green (army?) but the stamping in the inside of the leather refers to a Flak unit,mybe it's just the light,is it a LW lid? the liner might be OK for a 35 model,the liner string is not original to that liner. ciao Mario

well Eric, if it's apple green,the liner is 1936 dated and the leather has a flak unit stamp, it's a little strange.It does not look repainted. I would expect to see that kind of liner on a lw blu early 35 helmet either DD or camoed at least. I would check alluminum bands rivets very well or the leather small rivets. It could be that the liner band is original to the helmet and the leather has been switched or the whole liner has been replaced. Also check if the chinstrap has any kind of markings on, it may be original to the liner and might also have some LW stamps ciao Mario

To answer your question, the liner is correct for an M35. On my monitor, the dome of the helmet looks Luft blue. Does the leather have an embossed circular marking to the right of the seam?
