Kriegsmarine M35 camouflage helmet
A nice original Kriegsmarine camouflage helmet. The helmet is marked ET66 indicating production by Eisenhüttenwerke, Thale and has a non reinforced, 19378 dated size 58 liner. The helmet retains its original Kriegsmarine decal and is still in a dusty untouched condition. The helmet was repainted 2 or 3 times during the war and had two, not one decals applied. If you look at the closeup you can clearly see the overlaying of the decals and the clear golden feathers of the Kriegsmarine decal, not to be confused with a toned Heer decal. The national or tricolor decal was removed wartime, as per regulation. The helmet still retains most of its tan and green spray painted camouflage. The rivets are, like the liner, original to the helmet and have not been removed.
The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap which are original to the helmet! The lot number in the helmet is 3678 and according to the lot number reference by Brian Ice it is exactly as it should: M35 ET66 3678 DD KM 37NRAB BS.
The helmet has a lot of patina and makes a great display piece, hard to find a original Kriegsmarine camouflage helmet!
