The camouflage paint over the decal is partially gone due to the fact that paint not always adheres well to the surface of a helmet decal.

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!
