I see some sign of cleaning and touching up of the tri color. It's an M35 at least. No sure of the authenticity of the eagle.

Original helmet.post war painted all over. Then the paint has been taken off to reveal the decals.,in doing so the become scratched

Thanks for your comments, appreciate it, just to know where in the helmet do you feel that it has been messed with?, I should get rid of that "chinstrap" and get a decent one

[jamoros]

Thanks for that, does this make this helmet bad at all?

Hi guys, have gone through some old threads and came up with this one, thought I would add some decent close ups of the decals and the stamps on the helmet, could anyone please tell me what those numbers mean?, also any other feedback on the overall helmet would be highly appreciated, thanks, Juan
