Wehrmacht Heer Untouched M35 Double Decal Helmet – ET68 – 1937 Liner
Category:
€ 3.950,00
A very attractive and completely untouched early Heer M35 double decal combat helmet, manufactured by Eisenhüttenwerke Thale (ET) in the desirable large shell size ET68. The inside of the shell is stamped with lot number 3592.
The helmet retains a very attractive amount of its early apple-green factory finish, which has developed a beautiful and completely natural patina over the years. The shell shows honest signs of age and service wear throughout, giving it exactly the appearance one wants to see on an untouched M35.
Both decals remain clearly present. The Heer eagle is the correct ET-type decal and retains good detail despite the expected scratches and wear. The national shield remains particularly attractive, with strong black, white and red colours. The natural ageing, crazing and wear of both decals correspond perfectly with the overall condition of the shell.
The helmet is complete with its early aluminium liner system, maker marked Schuberth-Werk K.G., Braunschweig and dated 1937. The brown leather liner remains nicely preserved with clear signs of period wear and is complete with its original drawstring. The original leather chinstrap is also still present.
Most importantly, the liner assembly appears never to have been removed. The liner pins remain tight and undisturbed, and the finish, liner, chinstrap and decals all show a very convincing and consistent age and patina.
A beautiful large-size ET68 M35 Double Decal Heer helmet with loads of character and a particularly desirable untouched appearance.
