DESCRIPTION
This helmet came from an old school retired re-enactor who worn it for about 10 years back in the 1990's. What's nice about this reproduction M35 ET68 shell is both it's X-large size and the fact that it is stamped directly into the metal an ET68 and rear lot number 996 which modern reproductions fail to bother with. It has a vintage ET style eagle made in silver foil and with a nice grayed out patina. The liner is stamped 61 and the chinstrap is a matching 1939 E.Larsen Berlin marked with aluminum buckle.
Great for a new re-enactor looking for a plus sized shell on a budget or a newer collector who just wants something cool and vintage to display on his home office shelf.

GERMAN HELMET FACTORY PRODUCTION CODES
(Every original German helmet produced from 1935 to 45 had two factory stampings punched into the side and rear or both in the rear. The alpha numeric number refers to the factory location and the inside metric circumference in centimeters. The rear lot number refers to the production run and was used as a quality control measure. The font styles used at each factory were slightly different but highly consistent throughout the war and so fakes or reproductions will either not have these numbers at all or they will use the wrong font style or letter spacing and so are easily identified as post war made.)
