Hey how is it going!? I am glad you kept that one, its such a unique and rare piece, I think the find of the decade in German helmets myself. Sorry to spread false rumours that it was for sale,...
Did you take a closeup pic of the decal? Every M35 I have seen with this decal was a fake unfortunately.
In due time my friend. ;-)
I heard that the helmet was offered for sale at a very high price. Whether it has been sold since I do not know. I do know that a potential buyer made a very fair trade offer but never heard back...
Trust me, they have. But without having a real one in hand they are guessing on the details... :-)
As for rarity there was just mine and I have heard of one or two others but never seen them, and...
Sorry guys not home at the moment. Dan mine is Austrian as is yours and thus has the lot number stamp in the dome like yours. Phil mine has spacers as well, I don't have it in hand but should be...
Here it is, cover of the book Last Knight of Flanders; Remy Schrijnen. Hard to see in the photo but it's a mirror runic decal on an M35.

It's the cover photo of a book I have, I'll try to find it. Kelly's good friend of mine, I'll tell him for you LoL. Thx for the kind words, rare SS helmets are my "thing" indeed.
There are 2 of these known for sure now, the other 2 like I said are "ghosts", I've been told about them but never seen them. Whether those 2 even exist, this is one of these 2, those 2 were thrown...
No worries, I was not trying to be rude. The mere thought of one of these posted overrides any discussion on price and as I said, what he paid and what it's worth are distractions from the item...
oh well they are still white Ralph. I prefer cotton however. Latex gives me a rash...:D

Your more than welcome Dan, it was my pleasure to help! And I LOVE the white gloves! Gentlemen, now here is a collector who knows how to treat royalty.
As I said in the thread in several places I own one and was told by the person who sold me mine one had been told one identical to it but in worse condition was sold decades ago in the Pacific...
Thanks Ade! This thread will serve as an inspiration and education!
May I suggest this thread be pinned?
Hey Dan it's great to meet you!
This story has so many elements of greatness on so many levels.
1. It shows there are diamonds in the rough out there, like I said earlier it's like finding the...
I don't want to talk price but DAMN those are expensive scratches.......:confused:
LOL
Sorry Dave but your going to have to tell the missus I don't collect duplicates.
Hey dis360 ( we really need a name here - wink wink)
Not dried blood. So...... With these and all the pics shown I see zero red flags, this is an identical twin to mine, I mean identical, as...
I'd say that's in the ballpark. Ultra Rare SS is ultra expensive.
That said, price is a sideshow. It's the rarity and beauty that is what makes this helmet. That should be the focus of the...
What he paid for it is irrelevant, and with all due respect, it is also his private business. Who cares?
Sure. It's worth a few sheckles. It is what it is,
But - guys, feast your eyes. This...
Guess. More than a regular double decal SS transitional. :rolleyes:
I'm in a great mood over this helmet - not over it's potential value, but by the sheer rarity of it.cool militaria
My dead mint double named factory black M35 double decal SS came out of the woodwork, via Dave with research help from Kelly, Darryl and myself. The best black M35 SS ever, in an attic for 60...
Yes indeed guys I am excited.
