Helmets & Parts

Rare  M35 Luftwaffe double decal wire camouflage helmet marked ET64 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. This is a textbook pre war M35 double decal helmet with original factory installed liner and broken chocolate brown chinstrap. The helmet retains its original decals and factory finish up to 80%. Externally the helmet was lightly camouflaged with several neatly applied green spots all over the helmet. The helmet has a period applied metal wire around the helmet for the application of vegetation. There is a good amount of interaction of the shell with the wire which was applied to the helmet before the war’s end. The helmets shell is slightly deformed at the front left rivet which can be seen observing the shape of the shell. This is probably due to artillery explosion shockwaves because there is no damage to the shell or its paint indicating a direct hit or drop. The helmet is named Gefreiter Schwenk in the skirt of the shell. The helmet is a US veteran bring back and was stored in a footlocker until approximately 10 years ago when it was sold on the MAX show. It has been in a single collection since and now the first time on the open market. Hard to upgrade and for sure original wire camouflage helmet in excellent condition!

Battle damaged Q64 M40 no decal helmet in as found condition. Textbook late war no decal M40 helmet made by Quist in the shell size 64. The Quist marking is hard to read because of the thick paint used inside the helmet which is typical for this variant. The helmet retains its original factory installed and blood soaked liner indicating a battle damage. The helmet is in good condition with most of the original finish remaining. Hard to upgrade piece that tells a tale.

Textbook, late war M38 paratrooper or Fallschirmjäger helmet marked CKL68 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet is a typical late war example with non vented aluminium bolts. The helmet retains its rare late war slide buckle chinstrap without press studs. The helmet retains its original, blood stained, size 57 liner. The liner does not have its crown which I presume was removed during or after the war. The helmet is a nice original example in good used condition!

Q64 M35 Luftwaffe double decal helmet that was found in Valkenswaard which is south of Eindhoven. The helmet was bought from a non collector in the early 2000’s and has been in a single collection since. The helmet is untouched and retains its original decals and paint up to 80%. The helmet retains its wartime placed helmet liner which is a warime (!) replacement. The liner pins are original to the shell but the washers are interesting, hand made examples which have always been in the helmet, exactly as it was obtained over 20 years ago. The helmet is a nice and untouched example in very good condition from a interesting part of the Netherlands which played a mayor role trough operation Market Garden!
