Rare Heer single decal M35 helmet marked SEst64 in near mint condition. The helmet was offered to me directly through a veteran family and has never been in a collection before. The helmet is marked SEst64 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet marking SEst64 was only manufactured for a very short period in 1936! The reinforced liner is original to the helmet and the chinstrap is nicely marked R.Z.f.H. 1942. The helmet still retains 95% of its original Pocher decal and factory paint. The helmet is truly one of the Heer single decals M35 helmets that I’ve seen out there and would be a crown in any helmet collection. Simply a textbook M35 with extremely rare SEst markings – for sure the best one on the market today!
