    Hello, I have recently got two helmet - one M35 DD Q66 Lot number 3349 - it came from Rostov. It was cleaned by the german soldier after winter, probably in 1942. And the other one M40 ET66 Lot number 437 - it came from Pskov. First time I thought it has a KM color and decal...but not although the color is very untypical.

    Two very nice helmets! The paint and decal on the second one is in fantastic condition! Personally i would not have added the new liner and chinstrap, but thats your choice!

    Thank you. I need to add, leather and the chinstrap are not new but also cleaned. The liner of the ex-winter camo belong to the helmet. All chinstraps are also cleaned and original! I never use modern items. Below are the restoration project of the liner.
