This is a gorgeous original WW2 German M35 netted helmet, complete with original liner and original factory-applied paint. The net is likely a Canadian, British or American helmet net, and has been on it since I found it, and I have not altered it or removed it. These nets have been found on other German helmets before, likely captured by German soldiers off of helmets used by Allied forces during the war. The helmets paint is all-original apple green. There is a beautiful amount of wear on the helmets surface and the liner is very beaten, showing lots of wear consistent with a heavily used combat helmet.
The lot number is 4372 stamped on the rear skirt, and the Shell is stamped ET64. The chinstrap has been lost to time as is often the case with ww2 German helmets.A nice early-war helmet that was likely worn by a German soldier for 5-6 years of war.
