DESCRIPTION
This is an original M35 Q66 rear lot #292 German WW2 helmet that was professionally restored by yours truly into an Italian/Southern Front wire caged camo pattern. The colors are a based deep brown yellow overpaint followed by a muted sage and dark greens. The overall helmet has been battle hardened and naturally aged with a textbook Quist Bigfoot decal.
The liner and chinstrap are aged reproduction and this would fit a men's size 59 and so is a large helmet.
$750

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.)
