NS64 M35 Heer handpainted geometrical camouflage helmet

Nice original early M40 Heer geometrical camouflage helmet marked NS64 indicating production by Vereinigte Deutsche Nikelwerke, Schwerte. The helmet is a nice example of a combat worn early Heer M40 helmet with a reinforced aluminum liner and a worn handpainted camouflage pattern with lots of patina. The helmet retains its factory paint and decal which is topped off with a nice handpainted three-tone camouflage pattern which has the decal peaking through the paint. The helmet retains its liner and chinstrap which are original to the helmet. The helmet is a very nice example of a very early M40 helmet which has been throughout the war and has a nice camouflage pattern to it at a very good price!
