Re: M35 I got on Ebay
Hi Jon,
Sorry to say I think this one is a top to bottom repro, shell , liner paint and decals.
Cheers
Jason

Re: M35 I got on Ebay
100% bad as the guys say. To be honest I think $150 is a bit steep for a complete repro.

I had second thoughts before bidding on it, but the only consolation I have is that I have seen other repo's (see one of my earlier post) go for more on the evilbay site. Oh well, live and learn. Thanks again, Jon

Re: M35 I got on Ebay
I have to agree my friend, over priced for a very unconvincing M35, but we learn from our mistakes, in future please post any prospective buy on here first so you can get opinions and help to save you money

Being that i am new to collecting helmets, could you be more specific about which airvents you are talking about? Are they on the liner of shell? One more question, the chin strap is stamped, which is probably a repo also, with 'R Larsen 1939 'on it. 100% repo?

Re: M35 I got on Ebay
The Larson 1939 stamped chinstrap is a well-known fake. The airvents are the 2 holes on the sides of the shell above the decals...

Re: M35 I got on Ebay
They are the "vent" holes above the decals, the M35 had a two piece vent, one pushed into the helmet from the outside ,the other ,a washer type piece secured it from the inside, it is very doubtful that as this helmet is a repro that the chinstrap is completely genuine as to be honest a chinstrap would be worth more than the whole helmet
