First for me on a m-40! cricket chris and Maximus have some nice ones on M-35 that is all I have ever seen them on. I had a early deep blue M-35 double decal with a snake leg once that's one I wish I hadn't let go. timothy

The decals on the helmet that started this thread are poor and well known reproductions. Its liner looks bad as well.

I like them better than the 2nd pattern

They're much harder to find due to them being reissued with new paint, new bird and no shield as per the 1940 regs, correct?

**cricketchris1944** · 07-20-2013, 03:19 AM

That is correct.

Cool, I'm learning. I have an early photo of a panzer man with the shield on his helmet painted over in the field probably right after the mandate. My apologies if you've seen this before in another thread ( Bill T's) . I've been told this is one of the best photographic evidence of the early implement of this regulation.
