Ww2 german m35 helmet luftwaffe winter camo snow goggles wwii ef64 RARE

Original WW2 German M35 helmet with winter camo overpaint. The helmet was sourced in Norway 3 years ago, and came directly from a member of the Norwegian Resistance - who likely captured it from it's previous German owner. The helmet would have originally been an early 1st pattern Luftwaffe Double Decal, notice the Luft blue still present to the inside, before being camouflage painted over the top.

The shell is side stamped "EF 64" and lot numbered to the rear skirt. Photos have been taken both in shade/direct sunlight, as it is hard to capture the'true' colour on camera. In hand, it is an aged white with a slight yellowish tinge. This paint is typical of winter camo helmets originating from Norway. NOTE - there has been an emblem scratched into the paint on the front (by the son of the captor, as a child), but this is mostly hidden behind the original snow goggles when fitted For further pictures please contact me.

The correct early single band liner is fully original to the helmet, however this has stiffened somewhat from the poor postwar storage in which this helmet was stored upside down. The original WW2 German snow goggles are included as shown - however note that the lenses of these have clouded and are for display only. Overall a great helmet with some known history, which displays superbly!

A very rare and sought after camo scheme to find today. Thanks for looking and please feel free to check out my other WW2 items.
