GERMAN - M35 DOUBLE DECAL ARMY HELMET - ET60

Absolute " One Looker " , untouched original.
ET 60 Lot no. 3584.Circa 1937.
Good smallest size helmet which are now very sought after.
This is a double decal with the State shield still present in part, removed as per the 1940 decal drop order.
Field grey finish with toned army decal
Sheep skin liner with all tongue ends complete but a bit dry.
Early non reinforced Aluminium liner band ( a/f ).
Old period lace as a drawstring.
Nice use of a goggles strap as a substitute chin strap, this is how the helmet came out the weeds to me so I believe this to be period.
Helmet configures nicely with the Brian Ice helmet code book which records it as a double decal Army with single non reinforced aluminium band, (this with a 4 inch section missing on the left side) and with a parade gloss green finish which can still be seen on inspection in the inner apron.
Great looking helmet which did'nt sit out the war and offered at a very low price for a double decal and which is as left the factory confirmed by the Helmet Code book .
