German Steel

**Thaddeus** · 08-26-2013, 12:24 AM

Hi all, up for display is my German m-35 steel helmet. It is a size 68. This helmet came from an estate sale and was found in a garage with a birds nest made inside of the liner. Despite this surprise, I was able to get a good deal on the helmet and no birds were harmed. I know it is not in the best condition but I wouldn't want it any other way! The helmet retain the majority of the green paint. At some point it was dropped and the visor in the front is slightly dented giving the helmet a snarled look. Hope you enjoy!

I like it, a nice honest one. It is a reissued M35 by the way, it would have started out with a shiny green coat of paint and two decals.

Nice helmet!
For housing a birds nest the liner looks really good (or did you make that up?)

Is the chin strap cut?

Mpnox, There was really a birds nest in there! Unfortunately the chin strap is broken. I do not know if it was cut or just fell apart from old age. I do not want to put another on because I want the helmet as original to itself as possible. Thanks for looking!
