Small size 60 bought back from Berlin M35 NS60

This was bought back by a GI stationed in Berlin just after WW2 his nephew asked him to bring back a German helmet so he took this one from a pile of them , he took this one because it was the smallest and too up less room in his rucksack . Rob

That looks like a decent authentic little lid.
Any idea what the white marks are - paint? It looks quite uniform in some areas like where it wraps around the shell.

Nice looking helmet with a beautiful liner!!!!

The white paint looks like classic "closet scuffs".

Thanks chaps , Mike I don't think it is closet scuffs but then again it could be who knows ? Rob

Size 60! A real pinhead, and quite unusual so nice to have.

Nice one. That little size 60 shell is making the decals look large. I'd advise to very gently and carefully take the chin strap down from the brim to ease any stress on it so it doesn't split all the way through. The white circular marks look like stacking damage but if helmets were stacked usually the marks would be higher up and not white. Something else could have been stacked on it in years past.
