Gentlemen,

some of you may have seen this already but I thought I could post here.

This is an M35 Heer with textured camouflage finish.

The helmet is dated 1937.

It?s a nice camo lid that appeared in Thomas Kiblers reference book ?Combat Helmets? on page 14/15.

It?s a SE66 (Saechsische Emaillier- und Stanzwerke) with an aluminium ring marked with B&C Berlin (Biedermann & Czarnikow) 1937. The leather liner has an early large size stamp ?58?.

The helmet shows traces of the original double decals but has had the Wehrmacht Heer decal applied over top of the camouflage finish rather than painting around the original. I believe this is quite scarce.

You can easily recognize the traces of the applegreen colour under the textured camouflage painting.

It?s amazing how the camo works. Compared with an applegreen and shiny helmet this one is nearly invisible in the green. I like these worn and salty combat helmets best.

I don?t dare to post pics from Kibler?s book. I don?t want to violate any copyrights.

Please forgive too many pictures, but I was so excited about this lid that I made more than necessary.

Any thoughts on this helmet greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance !

Gentlemen,

thanks for the help on this item.

The decal is glued ? and also pinned through the shell.

I?m not sure about this helmet. They are scarce. I found just a few pics in Baer?s book.

I prefer to pass on it. Why ? First, I do prefer combat `have been there?helmets. This one is everything, but not a combat helmet.

Additionally this item is questionable. If you have to resell it sometimes, there will always be a discussion with a potential buyer. Thanks again !

Gentlemen,

I found this nice parade helmet made from Erel (E.Lubstein).

Leather liner is Erel marked.

The whole helmet isn?t mint but still nice.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated !

Thanks in advance !

Looks like it has been treated and possibly had some rust removed, due to the pitting.

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

Yes, I removed dirt and rust with an oily rag. Unfortunately...

Hi Don,

a little late, sorry.

First pic shows Huis Doorn, where the german empereror lived from from 1920 until 1941.

Second shows the mausoleum of Wilhelm II. In front you see the prussian eagle and surprisingly the graves from his dogs.

He buried the dogs nearby, as Frederick the Great did in Potsdam.
