Nice german m35 dd dug relic helmet I bought

[chevyfan2k9]

I usually don't collect dug relics but seen this one and had to have it, the rubber helmet band is fused to the shell also both decals are mostly intact and no rust holes and has original apple green paint left, I paid $120 shipped which I thought was a deal, just thought I would share

Awesome helmet, i say you got a great deal for 120. Ive sold worse ones for the equal amount of cash.

$120 is more than fair!

I'm not a relic collector but I'd have that on my shelf any day.

Curious. This is a heavily rusted and pitted helmet where significant areas of paint and decals have seemed to survive, and yet the leather liner did not. But the chin straps and rubber band did (old tractor inner tube?). How has it been cleaned ? I wonder if you were to lift the edge of the rubber band what you would find.

Leather was probably ok but the flexible metal things that hold the inner ring are thin and probably broke (while cleaning or putting it on the head; happened to me once lol)

Anderson, the rubber band is fused to helmet and where this was found the soil seems to perseve helmets better than others also this does have the leather liner but is detached from liner band

Preservation all depends on the soil conditions.
