Hello: I recently came across this helmet and would like to get some opinions on the decals, paint, liner, and chinstrap. I'm not sure if it's a KM or toned Heer decal. The light field gray paint makes me lean toward KM but the head on the eagle looks a little flat for an ET M35 decal. Although the stamp on the chinstrap is for a maker associated with KM helmets, it seems to be facing in the wrong direction. The only references I have show the "Loburg" starting at the hole rather than ending at it. What do you think of this helmet? Thank you!

Decals: KM? Heer? Too good to be true? -
Front view and liner. Unfortunately, I have no more photos.Comment

Chinstrap and one more national shield. See how the mfr's mark runs from the tip inwards rather than the other way around. Niewiarowicz's examples from this maker pictured at pp. 432 and 434 are both facing the other way. This may be only an insignificant anomoly but I'm not sure.Comment

This is a very nice DD KM in my opinion. I have seen this somewhere else and am searching for it in my data files. Where did you get it?Comment

Mine is a little superfluous after Tom's opinion, but I agree this is an absolute beauty of a DD KM
The slight raised edge around the eagle is an indicator of a KM, as well as the gold tone. I have an M35 KM with a Loburg strap also.Comment

That has to be the most gorgeous DD KM on the planet!
I have a DD KM M35 chickenwire with the same strap, dated 1939.
What is the lot number on this gem? Are you going to buy it? Another one of this caliber went for way too much money recently. It had a KM marked chinstrap, as I recall.
What is the size?Comment
