    Ex whitewash M35 KM to M40 specs

    Hi Gents,

    Here is my late M35 SE KM that has been finished in M40 spec textured paint and with a single ET style decal from factory. Ken N mentions these in his book and mine is lot number 4831 .
    It has clearly been whitewashed during the winter months and then has worn off or been removed. The decal has had some sort of varnish or shellac brushed over at some stage.
    Inside it is double named to 'Diekmann' on both the skirt and liner. It also has a little cloth tag very neatly sown in which you quite often see on Km's but I can't decipher it unfortunately.
    The liner is either dark from use or has had a light treatment, not certain, and appears to have blood stains on a couple of fingers which has slightly deteriorated the leather in those points.
    Interestingly the chinstrap shows quite a bit of whitewash as well.
    This one has seen a bit of use and a few seasons to.
    Thanks for looking, comments welcome, regards, Bill

              Big Bill it was a absolute pleasure to have this one in hand for inspection. You waited along time to add the right KM helmet to your superb collection and this one does not dissapoint. Just love the remnants of the whitewash on the chinstrap as well. I love this helmet. Congrats mate, Johnno

                      Nice helmet but I would say the white film is oxidation and not actual whitewash

                        I completely disagree with this statement. This helmet has very typical x-whitewash characteristics. The build up around the vents, rivets and even some places on the leather is the key here.

                        And I'm not usually into KM helmets but this one is a beauty.

                              Well then we agree to disagree.
