    I believe the helmet to be a M35 DD KM. Thoughts? The eagle does have a gold flake shine to it.

    It's a toned Heer. Being an M35 ET, it would be a two layered decal if it was a KM.
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    Happy new year everyone. I have been away for the holidays and thank you for the responses that I received. Two follow up questions -

    1) do you mean by a layered decal that it would have a darker black edge around the gold eagle?
    2) Can anyone with batch information pinpoint a year of production based on the batch number on point me in the right direction to figure this out?

    Thanks,
    Nick

    An excellent illustration of the point particularly clear around the outline of the eagle

    It will cost more to rebuild it then it will to just buy one that is untouched and original. Some buyers won't want to touch it once it has been pieced together! I would leave it as is. Nice find though, great price for a DD
