DESCRIPTION
This restoration represents that Holy Grail find a pre-war double decal Waffen-SS helmet. At the time the Waffen-SS was considered to be more of a political organization rather than a military one resulting in very limited funding and few helmets as compared to other branches of service such as the Heer/Army and Luftwaffe/Air Force. This restoration was made using a mint all original M35 SE64 size shell and repainting it in a smooth dark pea green enamel paint with two toned down decals. The SS decal is a unique in house version that is actually white metallic in nature and so very accurate in comparison to original examples. The liner is your M31 version with a re-enforced aluminum outer band and square chinstrap bales as seen in liners made from 1935-39.
A great helmet for a newer collector looking for version of the classic Holy Grail helmet while still on a budget.

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.)
