GERMAN WWII M35 LUFTWAFFE TROPICAL COMBAT HELMET.

A really nice tropical helmet, stamped size Q64, originally issued as a standard M35 Luftwaffe double decal and then over-painted in the tropical area that the soldier was serving in. At least 80% of the original paint finish remaining with losses in the normal area of the crown and the front of the crown. The outline of the original decals can clearly be seen beneath the paint finish. The majority of the paint is lost from the liner retaining rivet heads, as quite often happens with the M35 helmets. Faint traces of an owner’s name hand applied into the rear skirt. The interior skirt is painted in the tropical paint and the original Luftwaffe blue is present to the inner bowl. The aluminium liner undamaged, strap missing. The leather liner is complete with its original drawstring. Some staining and discolouring but good, strong and supple leather.
