My Luftwaffe double decal M35 with 31 liner

Here is my Luftwaffe DD M35 with 31 dated liner. It is a ckl 66, batch 2954, the same as Sam’s.

It was originally issued in blue, re-issued in field grey/green. It is missing a lot of the field grey/green that has either lifted or worn off.
It is the only Luft. helmet that I own. The chinstrap is a reproduction that I made for this helmet until I aquire another. It was purchased by me since my uncle was in the Luft. Flak. I bought this size as my uncle was a large man.

I hope you like it,
Ralph.

First M1 Helmet

I won my first helmet on ebay. I spent some time reading the threads on this forum to make sure I bought a WWII helmet and liner. I did get a WWII helmet right?

I was thinking about buying correct period chin straps for the liner but after seeing an $85 dollar bid on the leather strap…I think I’ll go repro.

It looks like the liner is pretty much worn out. Not surprisingly the seller neglected to show a clear view of the liner in his listing.

Looks like the liner was repainted. I can’t tell what’s under there but its a red and yellow decal on the first layer of paint.
