Re: Found this in a neighbours garage
An authentic M35 double decal Kreigsmarine helmet. Looks like someone painted/colored over the tricolor shield at one point though... Why can't I find one of these in a garage???

Re: Found this in a neighbours garage
The national decal has been poorly painted...back to front?

Re: Found this in a neighbours garage
Hi Wehrmacht39, thanks for the quick reply!
So it's authentic. Will the fact that someone has pained over the shield decrease the value of it? What do these items typically go for?

Re: Found this in a neighbours garage
I like the helmet, it's a M35 maker ET size 66. Love the paint and the decal but not the painted one. By rights the natonal shield should be there but either complete or scraped off/painted over, certainly not painted as it is not. Would like to see more of it though, close up's of the decal, the liner etc before values are spoken about
Cheers

Re: Found this in a neighbours garage
Just looking at the shield pic again it looks like it had been period scrapped off, and someone has repainted backwards. Why is the question that comes to mind. Who would have mucked with it post war?

I'd also like to see some closeups of the liner including the inside of the liner rivets. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing but the rivet heads look a different colour to the shell.

Thanks, I like the liner and it's defiantly a KM, just don't like the painted shield. Might be a vet bring back that tried to restore it, or even an early collector or relative.
I wouldn't worry about the liner pins being a different color Glenn, not an uncommon thing.

Re: Found this in a neighbours garage
Looks pretty good! Is the chinstrap buckle end a different colour (black) compared to the long strap end (brown)?
