Re: My M.35 Wehrmacht Officers Aluminium Parade Helmet, any interest ?
Why double posts?
And if you want to sell, you better use the clasifieds section.
And use the forum picture up-load, is also a forum regulation.

Hello Stuka f,
Sorry about the double posts, I put one under the wrong thread and then put them both under the right thread.
Thank you very much for your advice.

Re: My M.35 Wehrmacht Officers Aluminium Parade Helmet
best to post the pics using the forum uploader rather than external hosting. Once they disappear from the host the thread is useless.

Re: My M.35 Wehrmacht Officers Aluminium Parade Helmet
Would it be possible to see better pictures.
It should have a ET64 marking inside the rim.

Re: My M.35 Wehrmacht Officers Aluminium Parade Helmet
Seems like a light-weight helmet to me, never seen such a light steel colour on the steel helmets

Re: My M.35 Wehrmacht Officers Aluminium Parade Helmet
The scratches look really new, no patina, bright exposed steel, the paint doesn't look like a authentic color to the period either. I maybe wrong, Im still learning myself.

Hi Dimas, I think it is an aluminum helmet and the color of the exposed metal looks right to me. The paint also looks good to me as does the liner. Justin is obviously incorrect when he describes the insignia as painted stencils, they are clearly decals, and are also right. I think it is a good piece, but I would still like to see better pictures. That being said, I would buy this one at the right price, but I suspect that the price paid to Regimentals was probably a bit rich. Cheers, Jim G.

Re: My M.35 Wehrmacht Officers Aluminium Parade Helmet
First off its not a 'steel helmet', its aluminium so the patina will look different as ALU does'nt rust as such but can corrode,secondly the eagle looks like a decal ,not painted on as the national tricolour appears to be, the scratches might be period but doubtful IMO,as for the paint it looks a very thin one coat and no undercoat ,which seems strange to me, as for trying to hammer out the dome, that would prove foolhardy as the metal may never resume original shape because it has stretched

Dave, both insignia are definitely decals. Jim G.
