Unique battle damaged blue overpaint Kriegsmarine ET66 M35 with Danish flag

Very nice and aesthetic M35 Kriegsmarine combat helmet marked ET66 . Field repainted in dark blue on top of a reissue on top of the factory apple green paint. The helmet the textbook and bright gold Kriegsmarine decal. The helmet retains its original liner and partial chinstrap. The grey top colour is typical for coastal artillery. The helmet retains its original reinforced aluminum liner. There is a small shrapnel damage above the decal which was there when it received its wartime overpaint; even with the hole it was still deemed fit for use. At the end of the war the helmet was most probably taken by a member of the Danish resistance with a period painted flag on the right side of the helmet. The helmet is a beautiful example of a shrapnel damaged unique Kriegsmarine helmet!
