German M35 and 3 other Helmets.

Hi, I bought these helmets today at a yardsale auction. The total cost for them was 180€. I think that it was a fair price.

As you can see on the pictures, its one German M35 with a fake kriegsmarine decal ( It looks white, but it is yellow. Bad camera). And one british helmet, which I dont know if its wartime or not. The 3rd one is swedish and the last one is unknown. Would be great if anyone could help me with it!

Edit: the M35 is really small. Size 54-55 maybe

The British MkII is probably a WW2 lid reissued to the Belgian Army. If the top where the screw comes through, has a dimple it is a Belgian produced helmet. Leather liner is Belgian, post war.

The other lid, apart from the swedish M26 and the German M35, is a British MkIV. Probably post war. The MkIII was used extensively in WW2 but not this MkIV. MkIII has the strap posts higher up. The MkIV uses lower strap posts and a "lift the dot" attachment of the liner.
Nice helmets fot this price!
Cheers,
Emile

Great price

Yeah it was. But if it werent for another muppet it would be alot cheaper.

Here is more pics on the MKII. It looks like someone removed the belgian flag on it.

What would be a reasonable price for it? Don't really collect this kind of militaria so wouldn't mind selling it.

Haha, yeah

What do you think about the M35? Is it the original paint? The paint feels kinda jagged. Maybe it's been repainted during the war?

EDIT
Who is the manufacturer of the helmet? It's marked SE62 and 4858.

To me the paintwork looks fine, and the insides look very nice!
