Re: My M-35 Double Decal SS Helmet
Hi Bob, thanks for posting this one! DD SS helmets are not easy to come by and highly desirable, especially with factory paint and decal issue like this example. Any history on the 101 vet that brought it back?

Unfortunately, there is no information on the vet. In the old days, the focus was on collecting the object. Today, there is far more interest in collecting the object and it's history.

True enough. If only we knew! I recently picked up a direct vet aquired M42 SS helmet, and with it came the picture of the veteran, copies of his citations (the originals rightly stayed with him), some unit newspapers he saved from overseas, and these items are displayed with the helmet as they make a direct connection to those events 65 years ago making it a very special helmet indeed.
As well Bob, it is quite feasible that the RFSS staff double decal helmet SS helmet and this one were in the same room at the same time and share a unique history!

2 "real double decal SS helmets in 2 days.................... Don't think my ticker can take it.
Is the chinstrap marked Bob?
The chin strap is marked but I cannot make out the maker except for the matching date of 1937.
