Extremely rare M35 Waffen-SS helmet which was factory issued with two helmet decals. Both, SS rune decal and swastika decal are still in very good condition and around 85-90%. The shell comes with a Q66 size and factory marking as well as with a "934" lot number stamp. It has its original attached liner still in place. The liner is size "58" stamped and comes in good condition, however, with signs of wear and dark patina. It is still very flexible and soft. The prongs of the rivets holding the liner are absolutely flat and were never opened. Interestingly, a leather carrying strap - most probably of a binoculars case - was added as the chin strap of this helmet. That has definitely been done the period time. The ends are sewn so you can't get the strap of unless you cut it.
There is original fieldgrey factory paint to the out- and inside of the shell. The outside most probably was overpainted with black color after the war which must be the reason this helmet has survived with intact decals. The black color was professionally and very carefully removed.
