Untouched m35

[Haaving]

Take a look at this one guys. What do you think?

[Paul.B.]

Can you tell me the maker and lot number please.

[Haaving]

Hi
Sorry, no. These are the pictures the owner of the helmet has sent me. Lot and maker will I ask for if it is necessary to determine something particular.
I am thinking about buying it, but I would like to get other collectors opinions first.

[Paul.B.]

No worries
The liner looks to be steel banded so it's a very late M35 or a re-issue
Either way it looks to have been there a very long time.
Is there some kind of lacquer on the paint? looks very shiny.

[Haaving]

No, there is no lacquer. I was asking the seller the same, and he denied that. Its just the light that makes it look shiny. It`s suppose to be more dull colored then the pictures shows. The chinstrap and liner belongs to the helmet. What do you think it might be worth?

Paint job looks questionable from the photos (painted black?) (outside)...could be just the photos.... well used undecaled M-35 in this shape would be $250./500.00 US if the paint checks out as real....(if repainted...$100./200. +/-)....

Price would be the biggest factor.... I personally wouldn't pay much over $250.00+/- as undecaled helmets are not an easy sell if "high priced" (unless much nicer condition) and I'd only want it for resale....

The PAINT job is key!....if real, a decent helmet....(if priced realistically!) What your willing to pay is up to you....prices and availibility are "regional" and subjective...somewhat.

IMO a very nice re-issue !

Sound looking re-issue helmet, outside paint looks to have been handled quite a lot giving it a sheen, i have no probs with the paint job and it would not suprise me that the decals were panted over at depot level or remove before hand, one i would not have a problem adding to my collection.

[keifer kahn]

Which are the accurate pics???

The first ones look very dark, almost black.The later ones look to be apple green.??

[ValhallaMilitaria]

Good lid, no issues.

[Paul.B.]

I would ask for a few better photos of the exterior.

[Adam S.]

IMO - all original no issues. Wartime glossy M35 paint

It's an M35 with a steel banded liner and glossy paint
with no sign of decals having been scratched off or removed.
Would you buy this helmet based on these photos Adam?
