German Helmet-excellent
THIS ONE IS RE-PURPOSED WW2 M35 or M40 HELMET. BEST PRODUCTION STANDARDS VERY SIMILAR TO QUIST VERSIONS I HAVE SEEN, BUT NO MARKINGS ANYWHERE UNLESS UNDER LINER. SMOOTH FINISHING UNLIKE LATER VERSIONS AND FINE ROLLED EDGE INSTEAD OF LATE WAR ROLLED OUT EDGE. LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE FIRST TYPES USED BY WEST GERMAN BORDER GUARDS, SOMETIMES CALLED M-50. LINER AND STRAP ARE FULLY DRIED OUT AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. SAT IN DAMP GARAGE FOR OVER 40 YEARS, SO SOME DETERIORATION AS SHOWN. (I GOT IT FROM A GUNS AND AMMO DEALER IN 1978) Small 1 dent.
