Some nice pieces the M35 looks to be a good original with a lot of White Camo remnant , it would be a nice one to post in the Helmet section !!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

I had been talking to the seller of that helmet+ gas mask but I was too much on the fence with that one... good to see it again. I actually posted it on here and got some reactions regarding the chinstrap and the strange orientation of the liner. Would be nice to see more photos if you'd post in the helmets section, I really like the exterior paint on this one![]()
Very nice items! The name inside the helmet looks Latvian to me.
