I dont see the vents that good, but at first glance it looks like an M40, rather then a M35 to me. The paint does not look original, the liner does - but it may be messed with/treated. Possibly a norwegian reissue.
In any case, no helmet i would consider buying.

I was thinking the same on the vent side as they look as a stamped from the M40. I only have the pictures the seller has and didn't seen the helmet in person.

It's really hard to see details on these photos but the shell looks heavily scrubbed (you can see the lines on the inside photo where you show the maker stamp), liner may be treated but appears original (you can see grey felt on the liner band).
I would agree this looks like an M40 from the first photo. Maybe the right pin was also replaced with an earlier brass one?
If this was an M35 it's possible to find a steel liner band on it but they are usually on reissued M35s.

That is it , nothing for a collector of WW2 helmets.

Agree. Any money put into purchasing this would be wasted unless it was dirt cheap and wanted to restore it for reenactment.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
