They should save the photos of this helmet so that people can see what an actual wired helmet Looks like for real. There have been so many wired helms suddenly popping up, and they look Nothing like this real one does.

Interesting helmet indeed. Note the unusual rear loop, has been hastily attached by using a single piece of metal probably done on unit or depot level. Not the standard 35M style loop what MAVAG used at factory level refurbishment of old ww1 stocks. Nicely overpainted in field green outside and on inner skirt too.
This is a MAVAG64 35M helmet with multiple overpaints and a field replaced berndorfer M17 liner but 35M style D-rings. Interestingly all the 3 liner retaining rivets are berndorfer rear ones.
And a wired+camo 35M.
Through this helmet I started my hungarian ww2 collection. Found it by a dutch helmet collector. He was collecting german helmets and had this one just because it's shape was similair as a german one. After a few years of asking he finally sold it to me. I believe that it is now about 15 years in my collection.
Nice helmet, painting is original but postwar since it is a 47M (49M) Tildy helmet. Kossuth crest on the front indicating usage in the 1956 uprising against the soviet occupation and communism. I have an identical GY66 helmet with the same Kossuth crest stencilled on the front and there are some existing 50Ms too with the same insignia.
