Thank you MAP. I ended up getting it in a trade so I'm super happy. I did have a question about Normandy helmets so I guess why not ask in this thread. Were Normandy camo helmets exclusively worn in France or could they have been worn on any front?

Normandy camo is kind of a deceiving name, because they were used all over the western front. One example is all of the "Normandy" camos found in Norway. http://www.german-ww2-helmet.com/433023588

Todd, a really nice example. Love those decals poking through!

Any history with it? Looks solid enough.

Not that I know of. I'll have to ask the seller if he has any info.

Great thread so far Rusty, I’ll try and get some pics of my splinter helmet cover on a better lit day, if a cover counts!

An M35 with rough slightly textured overpaint and two WW1 steel helmets.

A popular camouflaging method was to just smear mud all over the helmet and let it dry. Couple that with some wire for leaves and grass to be attached, and Voila! Camo helmet. Here is yours truly demonstrating it.
