M35 Luftwaffe Helmet, big enough to fit my melon!

[CanadianAR]

Picked up this M35 SD luftwaffe helmet last week. Its an ET68, one of the largest sizes, with a 61 liner.

Paint is a thinning, and no chinstrap, but interior leather is nice and its named in pencil in the dome, but i cant make it out.

Doesnt look repainted, and I can not see any signs of it previously having a tricolour.

It is an ET68, lot number 4787

Either way Im happy. Its my first luft and first M35

That's a really great representative piece! M35s are definitely my favourite, thanks for posting it!

If you like I can help you track down an appropriate chinstrap - I think I may know where to find one.

Congrats CanadianAR. Did you buy it locally here in Canada, or bring it in from the USA?

 

[CanadianAR]

I bought it from a buddy in the US.

Im Just curious how much would those go for approximately?

 

[CanadianAR]

Um, $500 plus depending on a lot of factors. Size, condition, decal remaining, liner condition, chinstrap etc etc

Very nice helmet! The liner is in pretty nice condition.

I have to get one some day.

I think Steve has a good idea.

I'll buy a helmet for one of my K98k's if you buy a nice Luftwaffe marked K98k to go with your helmet. haha!
