GERMAN WW1/WW2 TRANSITIONAL HELMET COMPLETE
I've left this one exactly as it came in, c/w with it's full length mkd. chinstrap.
Now most helmets I see have no chin straps because sellers remove them and sell separately for £150/160 pounds on their own.
Originally a blue grey this has been overpainted period in correct field grey . This with a percentage of flaking.
Excellent M35 pattern, clean, size 56 liner and maker mkd. full length chinstrap.
This is the WW1 M18 or Austrian type shell with no strap fixings on the inside of the apron.
Mkd. to crown " N.O. "
Transitional helmets, i.e. WW1 helmets fitted with WW2 type liners were used inter war during the Nazi period, and wartime they were used primarily by 2nd line troops.
Take off the price of the chin strap and this makes it a very cheap helmet.
