GERMAN M35 DOUBLE DECAL ARMY/ HEER HELMET

Top shelf helmet.
Rare early helmet in a large size. Early smooth paint to 95%. Excellent Wermacht Adler and State shield. Both are as nice as I've seen. The eagle decal is almost 100% and still very bright. State shield has some nice slight age crazing and is almost 100%.
Large Q 66 shell with early lot no. 4500. Confirmed in the Ice book as having left the factory with this exact configuration around late 1937.
Nice liner c/w original draw string.
Chin strap although original to it is a later 1943 dtd. and maker mkd. example. Not unusual given this is an early helmet.
The long end has a tear at the rivet otherwise very good with the steel buckle still retaining it's grey painted finish.
All in all an excellent helmet of a quality not often found these days.
