Hi Markus,
Yes, looks to be an original M35 shell. You can see where the vent bushing appears to have popped off on the right side and likely fallen out on the left.

Hi Andy, thanks about it... so, are there any warnings that this could be a non original?
Agree it’s a very fragile M35. Pictures are not great but it has been cleaned and left so there is fresh bright flash rust. Decal wise you are seeing the remains of the backing to it rather than anything that will come clearer with any further clean up. I would expect such a relic to be very minimum cost.
Hi Markus,
It is definitely an original shell but obviously not in original condition. Yu don’t generally see fake relic shells in such fragile condition.
It does look very fragile and it may be hard to stop the advance of the rust but you might be able to slow it down. Have a look n the relic helmet forum and you should see some examples of what other members have done. Here’s an example: Rusty Japanese Helmet / Help!!/ How to preserve??
If it was in better condition you could consider some Renaissance Wax, but personally I’d rather put the money towards a more solid example.

Hello Markus,
As stated by others, a authentic M 35 shell in relic condition.
Take care,
Mart
