Original German WWII M35 steel helmet manufactured by Eisenhüttenwerk Thale (ET), stamped CXL64 with lot number 5376. The helmet retains the classic early-war M35 configuration with rolled edge and separate vent grommets. The exterior has been refinished, with a single SS runic shield decal applied or preserved during the repainting process. While not retaining original factory finish, the underlying shell is a confirmed wartime example. Interior fitted with a leather liner and chinstrap, both appearing to be later replacements. The liner is clean and intact with modern-style drawstring, and the strap shows light wear.
Pickup & Shipping: Free pickup in Gardnerville, NV. FedEx Ground/Home Delivery within the continental U.S.: $60 + 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing). Combined shipping available.
Condition
Nothing fluoresces under ultraviolet light. Repainted exterior with even matte finish and minor handling wear. Decal intact. Interior liner and chinstrap are later replacements in very good condition. Shell is structurally sound with visible markings.
