Thank you for the replies gentlemen.This helmet was one of dozens offered for sale along with some amazing replicas made of fiberglass! Genuine helmet shells were used as molds and the models were painted to depict variations that the now deceased
maker wanted to have in his collection.He was in the paint and body business and his work was pretty well crafted. Many obvious fantasy decals were used.Sprinkled in with the replicas were some original shells and helmets.I acquired the ones I wanted including this shell.At $40.00 for an original M-35 shell I feel pretty good!Happy Hunting,G.
