Well, can you post more detailed pics of the vent holes and liner?

That's the only photos that I have......

It seems to be M35 model, not M40. But it is hard to say because pictures are not too good. $200 is not too much but it is not a bargin price either.

How about production numbers ??........ I thought that all German helmets were marked.

I personally do not care much about these numbers if the helmet shell itself is OK. Not all were marked. But better pictures is a must. If seller does not want to send better pictures, better do not buy it.

Not all shells and liners were maker marked and dated. This I believe was true of earlier models. Here is an M35 with no markings other than size on the liner.

Nice one, can you take photos of the rivet inside ??

[JohnyWoo]

Ok extra photos, and yes I changed the color on the outside. I removed gold paint with the acetone to see what's underneath it. It was clean metal, no decals like I was hoping for. On the inside no stamping, but I can see remnants of the green paint.
