Re: Helmet identity?
Major issues - bondo-filled, repainted relic. Not worth
much at all in this condition.........

Re: Helmet identity?
Looks like a refurbishment attempt gone horribly wrong. I'd throw it on eBay and see what you get then save that for a nice helmet, if that's what you are looking for.

Re: Helmet identity?
Also can anyone tell by the shape what manufacturer or what variant of helmet this one originally was? I would have guessed an M35

Re: Helmet identity?
It might be an SE M35, it seems to match the general profile of their helmets. The thing on the skirt might be filler, it's not anything to do with a chinstrap that's for sure. £35 is probably a bit strong a price but it's not that brutal. The owner should be able to get that back on eBay if they wanted to. One odd thing that struck me is the visor seems to dip downwards, it might be the pics or filler making it look like that though.

Re: Helmet identity?
Looks like a post war made helmet. I doubt it is original TR.

Re: Helmet identity?
Thanks for your reply, I had thought that it may have been a WW1 helmet that for some reason was converted unprofessionally into a WW2 looking variety, which would have explained the rounded protrusion but your explanation sounds more logical. If I remember correctly the visor does dip downwards, any ideas why it would be like this?
I see where you're coming from about it being post war made, my only doubt it that it seems in such a bad state to be a reproduction, could it be a military copy of the WW2 variant (maybe an East German shell, although the vents would probably be too small)?
Regards Matt
