GERMAN - M35 DOUBLE DECAL ARMY HELMET - ET60

Absolute " One Looker " , untouched combat 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..
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 exactly as it left the factory, confirmed by the Helmet Code book .
