To me the helmet looks as though it may be of post-war manufacture. The third picture down appears to show a ripple in the skirt of the helmet. This could just be down to the glossy paint and reflections. But all (or many) of the post-war helmets I have seen had this ripple in the metal. As far as I recall, the air vent in the M35 helmet was a separate part. On this helmet it looks as though it is stamped in. So maybe not even an M35. Or maybe I need my eyes testing.

It is a model 35 German helmet clearly marked NS 64.
The liner and split pins are incorrect for the helmet.. I believe there is a person on ebay occasionally that sells period shades of WW II helmet paint. It would be worth while for a reenactors helmet.

WW2 M-35 by NS as Steve says probably one of the Czech Fire Dept ones you could repaint it proper color and replace liner and chinstrap just depended how far you wanted to go as suggested earlier for display or reenactment I don't see anything wrong with that it would not be a helmet collectors would put much value on. But original at best. timothy

NS are nice shells. You'll have to decide what kind of NS it's going to be. Check its lot number and then see, in the GHW databank, if there are any like it. Maybe that will help you decide. NS' shade of feldgrau was a tad darker than other makers and their insignia differs too. Also the right liner....plenty of things to decide. Have fun!
