The is an original pre-WWII German M35 Stahlhelm shell in size 64 produced by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale, it has been restored to 1930s German specs. It has been repainted to 1930s German apple green and fitted with a new 57 liner of the correct era and brass splint pins. It is void of all stampings (maker, lot number, size) as it is an export helmet made for the Spanish Civil War. Was fought in Spain between the. Who supported Spain’s elected government, and the. Francisco Franco, a major. The Nationalists won in 1939, establishing Franco as the dictator of Spain. Franco ruled Spain from 1939 until his death in 1975. Supported Franco by sending aircraft, tanks, weapons, helmets, and military personnel, most notably the. Condor Legion, a German military volunteer formation sent to Spain to support the Nationalist during the war. Both the Condor Legion and Spanish Nationalist utilized German Stahlhelms. Germany used the conflict to test new weapons, tactics, and aircraft, making the war an important precursor to the tactics later used in the WWII. This one had a front bracket but it was later removed, the area where the bracket was can still be seen. The shell also has marks of what I believe might be a result of a poor heating prosses during manufacturing. Germany did not hold export helmets to the same quality control standards as ones made for Germany. Both ventilation holes have a small dent in them. I was not the one who restored the helmet or removed the bracket. The helmet is a slightly greener in person than in the photos.

WW2 German Helmet, Restored M40 With Camouflage Cover. She’ll has been found in the ground, rusted I guess, they used filler to bring back the shape and they done it quite well Hard to see on them vent holes which model it is, if they were pressed out – M40 or plugged M35, I guess it’s a M40 leftover of the shell stamping is still visible helmet cover has been made of original German Zeltbahn, splittertarn camo, I don’t think it has been made during second war, I I think it’s the early post war made in Czech republic on original machinery. See the photos of the item and it’s condition. Check my other listings thanks.

The shell itself is ORIGINAL and a large sz. The shell was then converted by me. The helmet exterior was painted by me and the chicken wire is period European with the opposite twist. The interior is a Bundeswehr liner in a large sz. 60 and the chin straps are also Bundeswehr. This piece is awesome!
