Helmet Grouping m42 and m35

[John4022]

Here is a decent m42 and a beat m35. I believe that the m35 liner has been placed in the m42. Is this correct? All comments are welcome!

Yup, liner for sure swapped out to the M42 from the M35. Both nice honest helmets! the M35 is nice and salty! love the way the name was done in the M35.

I love the way that names been painted in the skirt of the M35,looks like it was once a KM helmet the way the helmet decal has flaked
The M42 has a very nice decal,just need the correct type liner installed,i'd put that complete liner back in the M35 from whence it came

Cheers

the aluminium liner belongs to that M35 ,, wonder is it 1940 dated?

looks like it was once a KM helmet the way the helmet decal has flaked

yeah I agree with you about it being a possible Kriegsmarine!

I agree with what everyone has said already. The liner belongs in the M-35. The M42, deserves a nice correct liner of its own. The M42 also looks like it had the liner installed with Luftwaffe colored rivets Not sure, but they look very blue/grey??

Ive seen liners in that pattern by WErner Zahn made up to and including 1943.

You will see the occassional m42 with them.
