Yes that helmet makes me jealous haha!t. Map I meant to ask when you first showed me, does it have a liner in it or is it just a shell?

.....Then I saw you mention a M35 apple green Helmet on a thread I looked it up and fell in love lol.
So I can say you got me hooked on a quest for a M35 apple green helmet and for that I thank you

When I was 10 or so, I begged my Dad to buy me a helmet from this catalog (forgot the name but most of us old guys here in the US remember the company). They sold a mix of surplus and reconditioned items. They would buy up surplus Norwegian re-issued German helmets and then repaint and decal them. I got an M35 Apple green M35. Still have it to this day. Will never sell it. But I knew one day I would want an original. If you can even find someone to sell you an early Mint apple green DD Heer M35, it will set you back a small fortune.

Here is my son when he was around 7 (I think) wearing the helmet.

Wow now that is a good story and I’m glad you will never get rid of the helmet that is one thing that should be passed down forever! That story can’t help but make your heart fill with happiness.!

My favorite type of helmet would be the early Luftwaffe m35 DD with the first type decal. I've probably said this a couple times here but might as well say it again but the early blue finish and the 1st type decal look great to me. I recently bought an 35 DD luft but it has the 2nd type decal though the named part of it sold me on it, that being said I still wouldn't mind getting one.

Hey politefaun yes the early blue paint is lovely!

The one I threw in for helmet of the year competition thread set me back more $ than I care to admit.
