M35 plain Jane

[Ripper]

Greetings guys,i just picked it up,Its my first M35 helmet and it comes straight outta Germany.
So Its my first M35 helmet ,its a reissued,the color is a strange mix of applegreen and grey!?
Its stamped ET62 3614 , its got a written name and rank in 2 places - obergefreiter Giesel.
Now the pictures are not the greatest,i tried my best but i just cant show the actual color...
I think the first 2 pictures where there is no direct sunlight,show the real color.
So yeah I'm very happy with it,all opinions welcomed.

Nice honest lid. Great colour and patina...just how I like them.
Congrats well done!

Maybe not reissued? Early unreinforced band and alloy chinstrap buckle plus i can see remnants of the white of a tricolour and mayhe some remnant of the eagle? Could be a DD with the decals removed ....... maybe?

Nice one though.

Thanks Dan!Well to tell you the truth i dont think i can see any remnants of a decal(the white that you see is actually a deep scratch and is silvery).And on the eagle side there are a few scratches revealing the grey paint underneath and i cant see any sign of an eagle there.I'll take a few close ups of the 2 areas but...

I must have a good imagination. ...

And on the eagle side thats not scratches,some darker paint on top of the green one.

I would say, 1940's steel framed liner.
