Hi, Been burned on a few helmets so Id like to get some opinions here first.
My concern is the 99% decal. Almost too good
What about the paint and liner??
thanks

This appears to be a re-issued M35. The paint appears to be almost blue-green, but it may just be my monitor. All things considered I think this may be a good one - however, it would be a good idea to give us the helmet size and lot number,& any visible markings on the liner band and leather. Good close up shots of the edge of the leather and a straight on (not angled) photo of the decal would also help. I hope someone else will chime in.

The decal is a Strach, if I spelled that correctly. So, for that reason there will always be a question tot his helmet. The decals were period produced but theoretically none should be applied. I have owned helmets with this decal that were period applied without question. So, I think it would take a “hands on” to decide when the decal was applied to the helmet. And if it was applied post war by an expert, it would be impossible to tell. Best Wishes, Bob
