DESCRIPTION
This helmet was inspired from original textbook example of a Normandy camo painted design with the addition of brown rusted fencing wire they acquired from the French countryside. The shell I restored was a MINT M35 NS66 rear lot number E112 which will fit most men's heads of today and is great for reenactors. The liner a size 59 is soft supple calfskin leather and this helmet is basically good to go. The inside paint is smooth dark apple green enamel with an aluminum square chinstrap bale liner system.
The Heer eagle is the NS design with more slender head, talons and wing fletching giving it an overall more sleek and slender appearance.
A real one would run in the $3500-$4000 range.
$650

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.)
