Re: Original paint DD Luftwaffe M35 w/Double Decals
No m40 german helmet as far as i know has the double decals applied ,and that imediatley would raise my suspicion that they where fake decal!

Re: Original paint DD Luftwaffe M35 w/Double Decals
Double decal M40's do exist but they are not common.
However, don't forget others such as Police etc.

Re: Original paint DD Luftwaffe M35 w/Double Decals
Hi, i agree with the others that paint and decals are bad, rgds Dave

Re: Original paint DD Luftwaffe M35 w/Double Decals
Some indicators apart from the DD on an m40 and thick laquer over the paint are the artificially aged decals made to appear yellow with time. Also where the decal is chipped the underlying paint is untouched. usually where a decal is chipped or scraped the paint underneath is also affected in some way. my 2 cents anyway.

Re: Original paint DD Luftwaffe M35 w/Double Decals
Hi everyone
Thanks for comments.I was told the decals themselvs are from WWII period but they was attached on the lid much later (Maybe recent age).
So at least this M40 lid is original but it's repainted in post war age,right?
Thanks again
Steve

Hi Steve, all that is original here is the shell only, as already stated. Don't let anyone try and kid you otherwise.
Cheers, Ade.
