Hello guys, I have just managed to get this from a very good friend of mine, he told me we used to play with it when we were kids

his Dad brought this back from when he was in the 8th Irish and was wounded in battle, I have asked him could I buy it from him and his brother fro many years now, having a pint on Boxing night and again made a final offer to buy it

he phoned me yesterday and asked did the offer still stand?
and here is the result

never been in a collection and been in the loft for I don't know how long :shock: as you can a Quist still supporting the chin strap and a few bits of wear, really am chuffed to bits with it,
hope you like it as I do thumbsup
cheers Ronnie

That's a real beauty of an m35...surprised it's still in one piece after all the years of playing with it.

Hey Ronnie, you have found a superb double decal M35 LUFTWAFFE helmet there and the fact you know exactly where it came from gives it that bit more! Pester your friend for all the details of it's capture, it will not only increase it's monetary value but more importantly make this lid a much more important find. Well done and great perseverance!! Leon.

Thanks Leon, he was telling me today that his father was a bren gunner and also appears on the front of a book a thin paperback (his words) his brother took the book when he moved house and is trying to find out what it was called.
I will show it IF! he can remember where it went to

thanks for the reply

cheers Ronnie
