    Default M35 reissued DD SS Q68

    Hi all, here is my latest addition that I also want to show on this forum (already on the GHW) :-).

    I’ve been after this one for quite some time and finally got it together :-)! My first M35 DD Waffen SS Stahlhelm. Q 68, batch 651. Falls in line with three other Q M35 DD SS helmets: 654, 664 and another 664 as listed in Schwerpunkt’s lot number database (consulted on 10.7.2020).

    According to the sellers' (thanks J) info it is a reissue, depot-updated with a coat of Schliefergrau and a set of CA Pocher decals. The rune decal is very mettalic as you can see on the pics. The reinforced alu liner band is marked Berlin 1939. Liner and strap (dated 1940) appear original to this reissued piece. Very happy with this big SS helmet, that obviously saw some action!

    Awfully quiet on this thread .... :-). Any thoughts on the big Q?

    A big Fritzie!! ...... with what looks like a stretched strap, it may have been hung on something and bounced around - maybe explaining the big rub mark across the runes?
    Just be careful handling it - those decals look pretty flaky, hate to lose more of them..

    Good point, reasonable theory I guess Thanks . The decals are quite steady and I don't think anything will fall off easily, but I will be careful for sure!

    Nice catch! I really like the paint on this one and agree that it looks like it’s seen some action. Looks like whoever slid that runic shield on the helmet went a bit high with the placement

    Congratulations!

    Thanks Andy! Yes, it was placed quite high, the runic decal, wasn't it? The party shield also but not that high as the other :-)
