Re: craigslist helmet
The decals don't look too good in my opinion.
*Edit: My bad I didn't look at the description.

Re: craigslist helmet
I think this pot was reissued to the Czech army postwar. The inside paint is Czech not German IMO, the liner pins also point to this. The liner is wartime Germanl, and the strap. It looks like this M35 was reissued in 1940/41, assuming this liner belongs with this shell. The Czechs would not be particularly careful about this I imagine. Overall the price is in the ballpark for parts value but still a little high I think. I wouldn't expect anything German under that paint.

I think i see what you mean but (look at my picture) i was betting on the slight chance that the czechs painted over the wartime paint.

Hi There,the base paint looks as though it is field grey(as a M35 re-paint to 1940 specifications) or Luftwaffe blue,that said it would always look stripped if you did that(the original paint always appears "washed out").I personally would not bother for that price,hold on for something nicer,it will turn up!!

I agree with Leon.
Would not persue this one to be honest, at least not at that price.

Re: craigslist helmet
Not for $250. $150 it would be good for the liner and strap. You can try explaining all this to the seller but don't holdout hope. Sellers on CL have a way of believing their items are perfect when they aren't.

Re: craigslist helmet
I'm not itching for this helmet though, i did offer him $200 and i thought that was a bit much for this helmet and he said he's not willing to come back to earth on the price.
