Second time lucky with the photo uploads. Hope these are of interest and if anyone has any further info on norwegian helmets, I would be happy to hear it. Off to watch the footie now, my wife the eternal optimist bet on greece at 100 to 1 to win euro 2012. Can't help but think germany are going to repeat their 1940 glory!

Very nice M35, I would strip off the modern paint with acetone and leave the Norwegian paint(The modern paint will be easier to remove than the Norwegian one. Your helmet has a pretty typical liner, dyed red and what appears to be shoelaces that hold it together. The chinstrap looks like it has not been messed with.

I see no point in stripping the paint... it is what it is imo, why "ruin" it further..

[malex]

Yes, I'm going to leave it as it has been messed about enough already. The german stuff seems to be the cornerstone of every collector. I personally like the Adrian helmets better as they are more unique in design. I also like and own several tommy helmets both military and civil defence. Both my wife and I had relatives that served in both ww's. Some are buried in northern france, some survived. One was on HMS Fiji when it was sunk off Crete. So I'm a little apprehensive about expanding my german stuff. Any thoughts?

We'd love to see pictures of your other helmets as well

I would like one, why not. If I was to get one though it would be a minty example I think. Mint they go for $200+, or somewhere around that.

Hovering around $350 in my neck of the woods as Dave said i think they're starting to become sought after in there own right.

Are there any good dealer sources for these German/Norwegian lids?
