WWII GERMAN DOUBLE-DECAL M-35 ARMY HELMET


This is a German WWII Double-Decal helmet. Of steel construction with two air vents. The standard leather liner has been used. Earlier M-35 model with the rolled edge.



The helmet has a leather liner with multiple fingers which point towards the center of the helmet. Each finger is secured by the use of a string. Adjusting the length of the string allowed the user to alter the way the helmet rested on his head.

The helmet has two square rings where the leather chin strap would be attached to the helmet. This sample is missing the straps.

The back portion of the was usually stamped with codes to indicate the manufacturer's name, date of production and size of helmet. It is important to note that not all helmets were stamped. Another interesting aspect of this piece is that the name of the owner was painted.



An aluminum ring is rivetted to the inside body of the helmet. The leather liner is then attached to the circle. A close up view of the chin strap ring is provided.



This is a close up view of the German Army eagle helmet sticker. The eagle is placed right below the air vent rivet.
