Single rune and tactical mark on a M35 helmet?

**Inf Div 121** · 09-23-2018, 08:00 PM

Hello, friends!

Just got this helmet from the swamp in Kurland, it was among other German helmets, there is no question about originality, the only question is what are these markigs? One appears to be single rune, but facing wrong dirrection on right side, two squares on left side, under them appears to be Wehrmacht decal and a blue dot on the front. I have seen hundreds of helmets, but this is a big puzzle for me.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

P.S. If it should be posted in relic helmets section, plese sorry, just thought that question about markings will be better here.

The shell also appears to have had a black coat of paint on it (or black now but who knows what color it was originally).

I've never seen markings like this either.

Interesting one. The black paint appears to be on top of the blue, to cover it. Presumably to make the blue marks invisible. Certainly old paint but can't help with the meaning of the marks.
