Notes: Stunning factory single decal M35 Kriegsmarine seagreen camouflage helmet. Nicely marked SE66 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The lot number is 49## which is a typical range for a M35 SD KM. The helmet still retains its original chinstrap which is nicely Kriegsmarine marked and dated. The seagreen paint still covers up to 90% of the helmet and still retains its vibrant minty colour. The Kriegsmarine decal is partially painted over and nicely shows through the camouflage paint. Strong golden tones can be seen – surely not a Heerdecal!
