anyone heard of?...

Hi guys,

I talked to friend of mine that lives in Europe. He's been collecting for a while and this is what he came across.
M35 helmet field grey paint with remnants off a SS decal

All of it looks good...the liner, chin strap paint. The thing that he can't explain is that the visor has a "saw like" cut into it. I hope I can explain it better: he said that it looks like a factory machine cut "teeth into the visor". As if the visor was to be used for cutting something in the field. It's weird but he said the paint and all else appears to be unbuggered with....
Any ideas?

A left-over frame of mind of 'trench' fighting....wits end use anything including your helmet which having 'teeth' could cause serious injury!

Dave-


My grandfather told me bayonets were notched by soldiers themselves. If captured with one of these, things did not go well for the prisoner. This practice was apparently very frowned upon on both sides and was the activity of rogue individuals.

As depicted in the book and the TV movie, "All's Quiet on the Western Front."
