SS Helmet!!!

Does this stand a chance? I doubt it very much, chin strap described as repro, says rest is original (its says good year on my tyres, its not been so far!!) if it turns out ok its cheap for an SS and I will divulge the seller but I am not holding my breath lol

Is the liner a norwegian one?

maaaaybe, but I'm not that keen on the shape of the shield itself. The liner looks like a good German one, it still has the aluminium leather pins around the edge - the Norwegians replaced them with brass. Probably just treated with something IMO.

Oh well if it did turn out original it could be a cheap helmet for some one

I don't like what I see. Decal doesn't look convincing. Strap is bad. Liner looks like it has been treated, may not even be the original one to the helmet. I would just walk away.

I dont collect helmets, I posted it so if it was any good it was a cheapish SS helmet for someone. Thanks for the comment guys

Hi Ben , I must admit that I do not like the decal shape either , looks to long and the bottom "curves " seem to straight. Looking at the pictures It is hard to be sure if this is an M35 or M40 , but I think it is an M35 as it has "square bales" for the chinstrap. That being the case the lot number for an M35,SE?? 3514 suggests a double decal HEER helmet. There is no M40 with that lot number that I can find. All in all I would say this points to it NOT being SS. Leon.

From the splotchy appearance of the liner darkening and it's not being universally covering of the entire thing, I would tend to believe that the darkening is from blood contact...but that's just me, of course...

That's a bad decal.

At least it's not a 1/6 scale GI Joe type helmet.....
