Re: M35 DD Luftwaffe
Looks like a textbook double decal Luftwaffe M35 to me. I don't think the decals have been liberated. I think it's just natural wear.
I would expect to see a helmet like this sell for perhaps $900-$1,100, perhaps more if you can prove the vet provenance. Then again I don't recall seeing a DD LW M35 for sale for some time, not that they are rare, but just because I ten to only look for helmets that I can afford.

Nice looking lid. If I was buying I would be thinking $800 for this baby.

Re: M35 DD Luftwaffe
Nice honest helmet.

Re: M35 DD Luftwaffe
Thanks for the kind remarks on my purchase. The hammer price at the auction was $525, plus the buyer's premium (which isn't cool) made it about $614 total. I suppose not a bad price for this type of helmet.
ObKrieger: I agree with you, I think the rough textured paint was applied in the field and wore off over time, never being repaired by the soldier. I see no evidence of scraping or forced removal of the paint as I have seen on other helmets. Factory mint condition helmets are great, but, in my opinion, they just can't touch a true battle worn helmet!

I think that is a very good price, I recently got a M35 DD LW made a little later than yours for $750. The decals are a little more intact but yours has very nice character (and also a chinstrap).

Re: M35 DD Luftwaffe
It's got a nice first pattern eagle, too, which is a nice touch. I would love to have it in my collection!

Reason: heheh, accidently left out the space between "is" and "a" so it became "Infanterie Sturmabzeichen".

Re: M35 DD Luftwaffe
Good price. You got it almost at wholesale. You could make $300 if you flipped it at full value...
