Wehrmacht helmet M35 / from Smolensk

[hvm]

I recently bought a few relic helmets. The first of these is this M35 SD Wehrmacht helmet with remnants of the liner. He was found near Smolensk, near the village 'Krasniy Borm' in Russia I am told. I would like to hear your opinion about this helmet.

The photo upload and handling system of this forum and I, will probably never be friends. For some reason it shows images double, which I already deleted earlier.

Would I be correct in saying this was from Stalingradfront? i'm pretty sure i've seen it while browsing their website,nice solid relic.

Correct. After a lot of browsing, I tried to find the best ones that still display nicely and have a story to it. I like that the finding location is known. This way I can look it up on Google maps and find the story behind the battle there. Smolensk in this case has quite some stories that played over there I found out.

Cool they do have some pretty good shells on offer.to be honest i was put off only by current events and whether the Helmet would arrive ok,but obviously in this instance there wasn't a problem.nice buy again.

This one looks legit. Relics from this dealer are hit or miss.

All those spheres will let go. And a lot of spheres that are almost invisible now. They will also let go. And under the skin it is often a larger sphere. This process takes years. Later, much later, it becomes more stable. Under the right circumstances. No moist environment. The brown color from rusting will then change to a somewhat dark shade. I own many archaeological finds helmets. But I always chose helmets with a tight skin paint. They don't have that problem.
