    Luftwaffe Helmet opinions before purchasing please

    I'm considering purchasing this helmet from what I believe to be an honest seller, but still want to make sure especially if I'm going to hand of some decent cash. I've compared it to my Luftwaffe and from what I can tell it is good, would like some other opinions though. Thanks in advance!

        Looks to me like the decal was liberated from that reissue, and the inner liner band is broken.

          Mike,

          How can you determine that this is a re-issue?

              That's an M35 and that's not original M35 paint.

                  Am I seeing correctly that it is missing the chinstrap buckle?

                  It does seem to be painted over, looking at how the paint is around the decal.

                  It's better than what I have seen in person, yet not as great as other examples.

                  By the way, what do complete Single Decal Luftwaffe M1940's sell for these days? Isn't it one of the less expensive combat stahlhelms, next to no decal heer M1942's? (that's what I read from 2 other threads)

                    The one pictured is an M-35

                      You should be able to get a nice one eventually from the Estand with strap for about $600.
