German M35 DD helmet

Original German M35 Double Decal Helmet – ET66 | Named | Uncommon Rank

For sale is an authentic WWII German M35 double decal helmet, produced by ET (Eisenhüttenwerke Thale) in desirable size 66. Though both decals have been purposefully scratched — a common field modification — the helmet remains in very good overall condition, showing honest service wear and solid structural integrity.
