Battle Damaged M35 Winter Camo
Here is my latest buy, I don't normally go for semi relics but I loved the look of it. Found near to the village of Bjakowo, and positions of SS Totenkopf in the Demjansk kessel.
Nice big exit strike above the left eye, and tons of lovely winter finish left. Can't tell what kind of decal(s) might be on it, I'll take more pics when it arrives. Here is one 'battle damage' helmet that wasn't used for target shooting in the 50's! Thanks a lot Eugene!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

I really like it, and wish I had one like this.........!
Looks like the round creased the rim a nano
second before it made the large hole.
