World War II German Army (Heer) Model 1935 steel combat helmet retaining both original decals, including the national tricolor shield on the right side and Heer eagle decal on the left. The shell is stamped EF62 (Emaillierwerke AG, Fulda) with lot number 2044. Features the characteristic rolled edge and separate vent lugs associated with the M35 pattern. Retains its original liner band and leather liner, with portions of the leather showing age-related shrinkage and wear. The helmet exhibits an attractive untouched appearance with significant period paint loss across the crown and upper shell, exposing the underlying steel and creating a well-used wartime patina.
Dimensions: 9 x 10.75 x 6 in. high.
Pickup & Shipping: Free pickup in Gardnerville, NV. FedEx shipping within the continental U.S.: $50 + 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing). Combined shipping available.
Condition
Original shell retaining both decals, each showing expected age and wear but remaining clearly visible. Exterior finish displays substantial paint loss, scattered scratches, and honest service wear throughout. Interior retains its original liner band and leather liner, the leather exhibiting dryness, cracking, shrinkage, and losses around the perimeter. No chinstrap present. Shell markings remain legible.
