Original German WWII M35 DD Luftwaffe Helmet
Up for sale is a very nice and original German WWII Double Decal Luftwaffe Helmet. This M35 has a lot of character with a very strong factory blue color and both decals. The German Luftwaffe eagle shows some wear and use, however the German tri-color national shield is in near perfect condition, being very nicely applied also with strong colors.
The inside shell is a matching condition to the exterior with a complete liner and chinstrap! The leather liner still is in very good condition with some signs of use and sweat stains from WWII. The leather chinstrap is complete, and in matching condition to the helmet. Interestingly this helmet has come straight from a family in Tampa, FL. We were told that a German Veteran brought it to the USA in the 1950s when he moved. His neighbor for many years was also in the military, and they established a strong connection until his death because of this. We were told that the German Veteran died in the late 1980s, and passed the helmet to his neighbor. A few years later the neighbor had a son who eventually found the helmet and passed it along to us in 2018.
