Up for sale is an authentic WW2 German M35 steel helmet, relic condition, size 64, recovered from the banks of the Emajõgi River in South Estonia – a historically significant Eastern Front battlefield. This helmet is in battlefield-dug condition, showing deep pitting, rust, and a small combat-related penetration hole – a silent witness to the brutal fighting that took place in the region. Size: shell size 64. Origin: Found near the Emajõgi River, South Estonia. Condition: Relic / Ground-dug with original paint traces, heavy corrosion, and a small combat damage (see photos). No liner or chinstrap remains. It was central to several brutal offensives, including the Battle of Tartu (1944) – part of the Soviet Baltic Offensive. Fierce urban and riverbank fighting led to thousands of casualties on both sides. German forces – including Wehrmacht infantry and SS units – fiercely defended this area against advancing Soviet troops. Helmets like this one would have been worn by soldiers entrenched along this key natural barrier. We specialize in authentic battlefield and attic relics from Eastern Europe, carefully sourced from historically verified locations. Our pieces are perfect for collectors, reenactors, and history enthusiasts looking to preserve and honor military history. Have a good day!
