Beautiful Heer M35 single decal helmet marked ET66 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet is a beautiful example of a wartime reissued helmet with a thick textured camouflage paint. The helmet retains up to 85% of its period paint finish and period installed liner. The split pins are nearly void of paint which is typical for this thick textured paint which adheres difficulty and easily chips off. A very nice original helmet with a nice thick camouflage paint!

Excellent and rare first pattern tropical Heer pith helmet. The pith helmet is in good used condition and is complete with both metal decals and the original leather chinstrap. The pith helmet retains its factory installed liner and is a perfect example for the tropical front collector!
